As reported out, an M.Tech student of IIT Bombay attempted suicide in hostel room last week. He slit his wrist and after some time approached to gurads. Guards took him to hospital. Reason behind this suicide attempt is unknown yet.
A professor said that the student’s parents had told the institute that their ward had problems adjusting in the hostel better off the previous year, when he was living with a roommate.
While some students claim that the first phase of MTech project evaluation, which will start from this month-end, is stressful, another set of students believe it is not. “We have only the project work to deal with, so it should not be stressful. The student kept to himself and did not interact much with his classmates. He could have been under some stress, but academic,” said a classmate. Not many students on the campus are aware about the incident.
In another incident, a 26-year-old youth from Andhra Pradesh, Venkatpuram Chari, committed suicide at CETTM hostel near IIT Powai on September 21. Senior inspector Y L Jadhav from Powai police station claimed the youth was probably in the city to attend a seminar at the institute. According to the complaint filed, Chari left a suicide note stating he was facing financial problems and was unable to arrange money for the same.
