Another TN girl ends life over NEET failure

June 07, 2018 18:23

Apparently upset over her inability to clear the National Elgibility cum Entrance Test examination, a girl allegedly committed suicide here, the second medical aspirant to end her life in Tamil Nadu this week.

Subasri who could only score 24 in NEET for medical courses was feeling very depressed in the past few days and hanged herself in her house in Tiruchirappalli last night, police said.

Her parents broke open the door of the room and rushed her to a hospital where she died without responding to treatment this morning.

The death of Subasri comes days after 19-year old Prateebha, academically 'bright' daughter of a farmhand, allegedly ended her life in Villupuram district after failure to clear the NEET, setting off a political blame game over the test.

Opposition parties led by DMK raised Prateebha's death in the ongoing assembly session while its leader M K Stalin urged chief ministers of other southern states and West Bengal to oppose the NEET saying it discriminated against non-Hindi speaking students. -- PTI
