A 17-year-old girl allegedly died by suicide in Delhi’s Jamia Nagar under study pressure. She took this step after failing to clear the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to the country’s top engineering colleges, the police statement said on Saturday.

She had recently completed her 12th grade and was preparing for the JEE. A suicide note was found, which cited study pressure and unfulfilled expectations as reasons for her actions.
