A suicide attempt by a 19-year-old computer science student at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Kurukshetra has led to significant concern and administrative action. The incident occurred late Friday night when the student, originally from Maharashtra, attempted to jump from her hostel's fifth floor but was stopped by peers. Prior to the attempt, she had expressed feelings of hopelessness in a WhatsApp message. Following the incident, she received counseling and is currently stable in a local hospital. In response to this and a troubling pattern of suicides—four reported in the last two months, including three in April—the NIT administration has transferred two professors for alleged negligence and ordered all students to vacate the hostels by Sunday.
