A student from IIT Madras was found hanging in his hostel room yesterday, reports NDTV.
The student, who was completing his master's degree, was said to be depressed after he failed to clear the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering to study abroad.
No suicide note has been found, say the police.
The student had reportedly been scouted by L&T but he was looking for a government job.
In a statement, IIT Madras said the student was an MTech scholar from Andhra Pradesh.
"At this time, we have no indication of the reason for death. The student's parents have been notified. The Institute offers its deepest condolences to the parents for the unfortunate and devastating loss," the institute's director said.
