On March 1, a 19-year-old student from Tindivanam in Tamil Nadu’s Villupuram district allegedly died by suicide due to fear of underperforming in the NEET.<\/p>\n
The student, identified as Indhu from Thadapuram village near Tindivanam, was found hanging at her home while she was alone. Indhu had completed her 12th grade at a government higher secondary school in her village with good marks.<\/p>\n
She had also undergone coaching at a private institute in Puducherry and had appeared for the exam last year, scoring 350 marks, but did not clear it.<\/p>\n
Determined to succeed this year, she had been preparing for the exam again and had recently obtained her OBC certificate, which she submitted along with her application.<\/p>\n
While her parents and brother were away working in the fields, Indhu took her own life. When they returned in the evening, they found her hanging from the ceiling fan.<\/p>\n
The family immediately alerted the Velimedu Pettai police station, and officers arrived at the scene around 11 p.m.<\/p>\n
The police took possession of the body and sent it to Villupuram Government Medical College Hospital for a post-mortem examination. An investigation into the incident is currently underway.<\/p>\n
This tragedy follows a similar case in October 2024, when another 19-year-old student, S. Punitha from Keelmugam village in Edappadi taluk, Salem district, died by suicide after failing to secure a medical seat despite two years of NEET coaching.<\/p>\n
Punitha had also attended counseling for paramedical courses but was unable to obtain a seat under the government quota, leading to her distress.<\/p>\n
The Tamil Nadu government has long opposed NEET, arguing that the exam is unfair to economically disadvantaged and Tamil-medium students.<\/p>\n
In June 2024, the state’s Legislative Assembly passed a unanimous resolution against NEET, following controversies over leaked NEET-UG 2024 question papers and the postponement of NEET-PG 2024.<\/p>\n
The ruling DMK and its allies have consistently demanded an exemption for Tamil Nadu from NEET.<\/p>\n
