1- 27th Nov 2003 - Suicide at IIT - Source - The Hindu

Sir, — The story of a girl student committing suicide at the IIT, Mumbai makes sad reading. Monetary and academic pressures took their toll. Merely passing an entrance examination does not mean a student is ready for the rigours of life in the IITs. It is not for the weak-willed.

The students must be adequately counselled by the Directors of the IITs and their parents/guardians for the "ordeal" ahead.
