'Don't Lose Hope': Stalin To Students As NEET Aspirant Dies By Suicide

A medical aspirant, son of farm labourer, was found dead hours before the NEET exam was to take place.

A 19-year-old medical aspirant died by suicide in Tamil Nadu's Salem district ahead of the Medical Entrance Exam NEET today. After much delay due to the second wave of COVID-19, and amid campaigns for a further postponement, the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET 2021) for admission to undergraduate medical courses in India will be conducted today in 202 test cities. The medical aspirant, identified as Dhanush, was the son of farm labourer and was found dead hours before the NEET exam was to take place. He had failed to clear the last two attempts at NEET. Soon after his death, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin appealed to students to not lose hope and assured that a bill against NEET will be brought out tomorrow.
