The girl (16) took admission in the college three days ago. Her parents left for their native place Kamareddy town, over 100 km from Hyderabad, after her admission.
Citing health reasons, she returned to her room in the hostel Tuesday morning, they said.
She went to the fifth floor of the building alone and jumped down from the terrace. She suffered serious injuries and died on the spot, they said.
The girl was aloof and home sick ever since she joined the college and asked her roommates about holidays, police said, adding that homesickness is suspected to be the reason for her extreme step.
In another incident, a girl student of Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT), popularly known as IIIT Basar, in Nirmal district of Telangana, allegedly died by suicide, police said.
A student of Pre-University Course-I, she was found hanging in the bathroom on the varsity's campus, they said.
The girl was a native of Sangareddy district, a police official said.
As per preliminary information, the exact reasons for the girl taking the extreme step were not known and an investigation is on, the official said.
