They are pressurized. Extremely pressurized. This is what happens when a nation becomes too materialistic. The greed for wealth and success leads to loss of life.

test scores determine your life prospects in China and India

India is in very difficult position and Modi winning the elections will be icing on the cake. More cow vigilante murders, more killings of minorities, more oppression of women, more rape and more hate.

Even then we won't allow American soilders to operate inside our nation ,
Won't sell our land to China,
Won't beg for money from Saudi,UAE, China or IMF...

and Btw Pakistani talking about killing of minorities, oppression of women, rape ,hate and weakening of Rupee that's rich....Especialy when Pakistanis are famous for grooming gang chch it looks like your fellow Pakistani brothers thought like Pakistan in UK also women will need 4 adult witness to prove that she was raped and then like Pakistan when she will fail to prove rape then she will be conviced for adultery....

Taking own life over a college admission is down right absurd...what will they do if they pass out of college and find their degree is worth less in the job market or they dont get the salary they expected ? what if they marry and later they find their wife or husband is having an affair ? what if they find their future kids were addicted to some kinda of drug ? or have a illness which has no cure ? there are even bigger blows life will throw at you...this is nothing compared to what awaits most people in life(99%)... life will give you shock from time to time...you have to take those hits and move on...they would have changed their decision if they had heard of people like me who could not even complete his 10th standard board exam and what we went through in life...there are many people like me and i mean we are the uneducated lot of this community but we are still alive and well aren't we ? this is unacceptable...i am not even going to say what my religion says about suicide...i am not even going there...fell so bad i dont know what to say...as i can relate to the kind of mental trauma they would have experienced...RIP.

You people are so stupid that you think borrowing money (something that even super power USA does) is begging.

The demographic dividend is turning into a demographic nightmare... India's future is bleak. Little industry, few jobs, too many people, too many young jobless hooligans; poor access to health care, education, clean drinking water, and adequate nutrition. The list of problems goes on and on.

I remember as recently as 2012, Indians were confident of becoming a superpower by 2020. How times change. Nowadays, nobody compares India with China.

The Chinese must be thankful that the Himalayas stands between China and India.

Over twenty Indian students commit suicide after inaccurate university admission results

An inquiry discovered that software used by Globarena Technologies Private Limited had calculated pupils university admission exams incorrectly Credit: David Davies/PA
After more than 20 students in one Indian state committed suicide due to failed university admission exams, an independent panel has found that the marking software used was faulty and had graded pupils incorrectly.

Parents had demanded a review of results after over one-third of students in Telengana state failed their two-year Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC), which school leavers sit prior to applying for higher education.

The state government has since announced that students who did not pass the exams will be eligible for a free re-count of their papers.

Suspicions were raised after many students who had achieved top marks in the first year of exams did not even pass in the second and final year.

Parents correctly laid the blame with Globarena Technologies Private Limited – the company which provided software to the state government to process examination results but which has been found to have marked the admission tests inaccurately.

They also allege that the organisation awarded marks to students who didn’t turn up for exams and that the marking errors were covered up as the company has close links to the son of the Chief Minister of Telangana, K Chandrashekhar Rao.

“A student identified as Naveena… failed in Telugu [exam] in the final year,” a student leader told the Indian e-newspaper First Post.

“After re-verification, she got 93 per cent in that particular subject.”

Admission into India’s top universities is among the most competitive in the world.

Delhi University’s Shri Ram College of Commerce gets 28,000 applications for 400 places.

This means that less than 2 per cent of applicants get in, an acceptance rate below that of Harvard.

As numbers applying are so high most colleges take students in solely on their performance in the HSSC to make their admissions process simple.

Unemployment rates in India are at their highest in 45 years thanks in part to a population explosion which has seen one million people now turn 18 every month.

The job market is therefore more competitive than ever meaning getting a degree from a good university is seen as vital.

Some students reported that their parents had enlisted them into specialist high school colleges where they were made to study for up to 16 hours a day to try and ensure good results in the HSSC.

The independent panel has said it will imminently announce measures to ensure that marking errors do not occur again.

Too much expectations from poor souls.

The problem with India is that they are literally slumdog millionaires.
They all think India is some kind of super power but in reality, they are just slumdogs.

I mean, you must be really pressured to commit suicide over exam scores!?

Like who even pressures their kid that much!?

There's more to this world than studying your *** off and a degree. Feel sorry for those poor souls and angry at the parents & society that makes them suffer this much.

Exactly !!

Killing oneself for bloody exam marks !! What stupidity and cowardice !!

I too blame the parents, the society and the students themselves.

I myself dropped out from college in grade 12 and I don't consider myself inferior to anyone.

They are pressurized. Extremely pressurized. This is what happens when a nation becomes too materialistic. The greed for wealth and success leads to loss of life.

The thing is, India generally is a middle-class, consumer-driven, jobs-mad society.

We should not blame materialism because we all are materialistic people as a species. But consumerism is bad.

India being a extremely religious society doesn't help either.

what a tragic loss of life

They killed themselves no one else they didn't have the courage to face failure

A school or college exam is nothing. If they so much like passing a silly exam they can do so the next year.

But also, the students who committed suicide did not find their parents trustworthy enough. The parents didn't tell their children "It's just an exam, attempt it next year. Or even better, drop out of college and do something else". So the parents are to be blamed too.

What will happen if you fail? The pressure of study from childhood and brain washing to the extent that if they do not get admission in particular school or university than life is a failure makes this happen. The purpose of life is reduced to getting admission. Certainly, situation warrants a big overhaul in the system.

 

[Tauren Paladin]

This is why a huge population is a huge burden when you can't produce enough jobs. Automation is phasing out low skilled jobs that were abundant in the past. Many Indians think a massive population is a gift and advantage.
