The student was preparing for NEET exam on his own, officials said.
Lakhs of students come to the state every year to prepare for engineering and medical entrance exams.
A spate of NEET-related suicides has been reported in the state over the past few years, especially from Kota, which is known as Rajasthan's coaching hub. Many blame the pressure of studies and the fear of failure among students.

Coaching hubs are now roping in wardens, mess workers and tiffin service providers to look for any signs of depression or stress among the students staying in hostels and PG accommodation. The district administration in the city recently directed the coaching institutes to stop conducting routine tests for students preparing for NEET and other competitive exams for the next two months in the wake of the latest suicides.
