Who is Kota NEET student Uruj of Samdhan, Kannauj, UP NEET who committed suicide, biography, age and death reason
Uruj, a resident of Samdhan village in Uttar Pradesh’s Kannauj district, had been living in Kota for about a year while diligently preparing for the NEET examination at a coaching institute in the vicinity.
The precise reason for Uruj’s unfortunate choice to take his own life remains ambiguous, given the absence of a suicide note. Nevertheless, it is conjectured that his suicide could have been prompted by his dismay at not attaining exceptional grades in his examinations. Kota has observed a troubling rise in suicides among students aspiring for JEE and NEET. Despite government interventions aimed at tackling this issue, such incidents continue to occur with high frequency.

What happened to Uruj?
His family, alarmed by numerous unsuccessful attempts to contact him on Tuesday morning, enlisted the support of his friends in the Jawahar Nagar vicinity. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain, as Uruj had already taken his own life by that point. When they finally entered Uruj’s room after much struggle, they discovered Uruj’s lifeless body.
Upon discovering Uruj’s unresponsive state, his friends sought help from nearby residents, leading to the grim discovery of his lifeless body hanging from a ceiling fan. Authorities from the Vigyan Nagar police disclosed that Uruj had been struggling academically, achieving only average marks in his studies. The exact reasons behind his actions are currently under investigation.
This tragic occurrence follows a similar event in March involving another student, Abhishek Kumar, an aspiring JEE candidate from Bihar’s Bhagalpur district. Abhishek’s suicide note expressed his inability to cope with the pressures of exam preparation, citing his fear of failing the JEE. These consecutive suicides highlight the significant stress and mental health challenges encountered by students in competitive exam-centric environments like Kota.
