Kanpur BTech Gold Medallist Dies by Suicide After Multiple Failed Government Job Attempts
A 23-year-old B Tech gold medallist from Kanpur, Anand, died by suicide after nearly 50 unsuccessful attempts to secure a government job, police said. Anand had topped the Electrical Engineering program at PSIT in 2024 and was awarded a gold medal. A handwritten note apologising to his father for failing to obtain a government job was recovered. His family was away in Bihar at the time. Police cited stress over repeated exam failures as a factor, with investigations ongoing.
