Maharashtra student hangs herself after low NEET score

NEET suicide Maharashtra exam pressure Ankita Sangle

Ankita Sangle, a 19‑year‑old aspiring medical student from Jalalpur village in Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra, was found dead by hanging on July 27, 2024. Police say she had scored 166 marks in the recent NEET examination, far below her expectations, and was suffering from severe depression. A handwritten suicide note found at the scene thanked her family for their support and insisted they were not responsible for her death. The case has been recorded as an accidental death while the investigation continues.

The tragedy has reignited concerns over the intense pressure of competitive exams in India. Officials and mental‑health experts are urging students to seek counselling when faced with exam‑related stress, and the incident is being linked to a series of suicides that followed earlier NEET paper‑leak controversies.

Local leaders have visited the family to express condolences and to call for stronger safeguards against exam‑induced anxiety.
