Goa: A 17-year-old Class 12 Science student from Goa's Nessai allegedly died by suicide on Tuesday night, hours after NEET UG 2026 was cancelled.
A suicide note recovered during the preliminary probe pointed to severe academic stress and emotional exhaustion. The teenager reportedly wrote that he had been struggling for the past two years to cope with studies and the growing pressure surrounding competitive examinations, reported Republic.
He also mentioned the lack of balance between academics and hockey, a sport he pursued seriously. In the note, he allegedly expressed feelings of helplessness and said he no longer wanted to appear for competitive exams.
While police have not directly linked the death to the cancellation of NEET UG 2026, they said the sudden development may have added to the emotional distress he was already facing.
