A 20-year-old medical aspirant was found dead at his home in Puducherry on Saturday.
According to the police, he committed suicide and left behind a note stating that he was not sure about clearing the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) that was held on Sunday.
The Anna Nagar victim’s mother Parimalam, in her complaint to the Orleanpet police, said that her son Hemchandran was worried as he was preparing for NEET for the third time.
Over 5,500 medical aspirants took the NEET-UG exam, which is conducted by the National Testing Agency, across eight centers in Puducherry.
