The Morning Standard
|August 29, 2023
A day after two more students died by suicide at the exam prep factory of Kota in Rajasthan, the administration imposed a ban on all exams for the next two months.
Both were asked to take a test on Sunday despite clear instructions from Kota Collector OP Bunkar barring coaching centres from holding any exam on Sundays.
The total count of student suicides in Kota has now risen to 24 this year. Kota is the national the hub of coaching for India's engineering and medical entrance exams.
While one of the boys hailed from Bihar, the other one was a minor from Maharashtra.
