This student, belonging to Beawar district, came to Jodhpur last year in order to prepare for the NEET UG entrance examination and was staying in a hostel run by the coaching centre. The incident was reported by a classmate who lived in the adjacent room, who tried calling the student but received no response. When the student entered the deceased's room, he found his body and later informed the hostel management, who further alerted the police right away. Reportedly, the police found a suicide note from the deceased student who apologised to his parents. 

The second incident was of another 17-year-old NEET UG aspirant who was preparing for the entrance examination in Kota. This student came from Bihar in order to prepare for the national-level entrance examination for UG medical admissions. The incident came to light when the deceased student did not respond to multiple knocks on his door by his friends. The hostel owner forcefully opened the door and found the student's body. The police were immediately informed about the incident, and the body was sent for postmortem examination.
