A 17-year-old girl in Greater Faridabad tragically ended her life by jumping from the 10th floor, driven by stress from not clearing the JEE Main exams. Police investigations reveal she had been receiving treatment for depression. This incident highlights the immense pressure faced by students in competitive exams.

A 17-year-old aspiring student, burdened by the pressures of the JEE Main exams, reportedly took her own life by leaping from the 10th floor of an apartment building in Greater Faridabad, authorities disclosed on Thursday.

Despite family support and psychiatric care, the pressure proved overwhelming. Her death underscores the pressing issue of mental health among students tackling high-stakes academic challenges.
