Tamil Nadu student commits suicide after failing to clear NEET
Chennai, Jun 5 (IBNS): A Tamil Nadu labourer's daughter has killed herself after failing to clear the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), media reports said.
The student had failed to clear the medical entrance examination.
A police officer has been quoted by NDTV as saying, "She consumed poison after she failed the NEET. We have not received any formal complaint yet but this is what we have heard."
Prateebha, who committed suicide, was a Dalit girl. Her father was a construction labourer in Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu.
She had scored 1125 out of 1200 in class 12 board examinations.
NEET, which was earlier banned in Tamil Nadu, became mandatory since last year in the southern state following the Centre's nod.
