It is really feel bad to receive such news as it is a common factor that even after spending a huge sum of amount, the students unable to get the expected jobs for which the recent economic problems also become a reason. Anyhow, whosoever may be they should understand that by hanging on a ceiling fan or some other way to die will not satisfy you or your family members. We should try to find out the way how to solve it or to overcome the weakness.

Ignorance personified like Dr. Ramesh pretend to know history just abusing Nehru family. The bafoon doesn't seem to be knowing that the IITs are Pandit Nehru's gift to the nation. The spectacular growth of IT secotor in the country has much to do with the visionary decisions of Pandit Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi. While abusing that family Ramesh should educate himself that India is not a natural state. It's an artificial nation that has been held together for much of last five decades by the presence of Congress in its nook and corner. And the party has remained united around the family.

What kind of education system we have, we spare most of our time and energy in getting into so called prestigious colleges and degrees, thinking our lives will be cherished with those degrees, unfortunately it doesn't even help you live your life till you get the degree, how is this going to help us live our life better later. First ask them to teach the values of life before they call it as prestigious degree.

the tendecy to commit suicide runs in families.in future a strong genetic correlation may be found. its unfortunate for the family of the individual but others should not lose sleep over it and start blaming the leaders/country etc. the suicidal tendencies should be noticed by family members and never taken lightly.one should never talk of committing suicide when facing problems in front of children and should never pressurise the students that all depends on their exams/interviews.this is becasue of the false ego of trying to be the best /get the best in everything.its rare to see a cricketer/footballer commiting suicide for not getting selected for national team.if u trace the few suicides among sportsmen it will be due to alcohol/drug abuse.there have been instances of fans commiting suicide on thier beloved heroes film bombing.persons wanting to commit suicide requires the flimsiest of excuses.there was a instance of suicide in favour of amarnath agitation.

I cannot believe that you are an IITn. You too should hang your self on shame. People like you are a wate for this country. We tax payers spent our money for people like u. The bright IITns are getting good package around the world. Blame ur parents than blaming Nehru family

Does Arjun Singh has any estimate of how many such cases can be there four years down the line?

this is sad state of affairs. first of all, his death made news because he was from iit. scores of other weak minded people commit suicide too without making it to the headlines. not to be sarcastic, but as a general commentary. we are not guaranteed a job, just because the time were boomng, whatever the reason of his suicide, i hope others learn that we cannot take anything for granted. we , in india have never had it this good. compared to our parents' generation, we are much better off, with job on offer even in recession. we might have to compromise and go on the lean path, and make a career path ourselves.

IITians are from our lot and not from Other Panet. They have to face Reality of Markets and economy, unless media can create funds to Feed their overrated importance. They became hero in bubble, now Bubble is burst, so time for reality

I fully agree with Dr Ramesh's. Nehru and indira contributed to our country's dismal performance since independence, they did not get the priorities right, failed to educate and provide with basic infrastructure like health, education, safe drinking water, roads, electricity, etc..... They maintained illetracy to their benefit, divided country on reional and caste basis to consolidate the vote bank. I feel very sad with Suman and feel the system has failed and has contribued to his unfortunate death.

Stupid fellow, people like him should die only, he wasted goventment money. It shows that its just not enough being too intelectual, better some common sense.

It is a shame that a student killed himself. Government should stop giving funds to IIT. They are of no use to the country other than the IITians who can earn good salary with out doing anything.

I do not know why AP students succumb to pressure, especially at IITK. It happened once in 1999 and it seems the authorities have done nothing to improve the situation at IITs.All IIT undergraduates and postgraduates can be offered on campus research assistant/teaching assistant jobs before they get permanent jobs in public or private sector.Also, its high time the IIT academic staff prepare these graduate students to face the situation with humility and courage rather than desperation.Any student either graduate or postgraduate given proper counseling and guidance can develop self confidence and self belief rather than inability or helpless.

I have been a student at IITK and would just like to point out that Director is Dr. S.G. Dhande not Panday ... please gets the names right.

IF THIS STUDENT WAS VERY SMART WITH LITTLE WISDOM, HE WOULD NOT HAVE COMMITED SUCIDE. SUCIDE IS A MENTAL PROBLEM INHERITED FROM FAMILY TIES.PEOPLE LIKE HIM WHO ARE IIT'S CAN BE ENTERPRENOUS AND PROVIDE JOB FOR OTHER INDIANS. TODAY GOVERNMENT PROVIDE SUBSIDARY LOANS. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD HELP SUPPORT SUCH STUDENTS FOR THEIR BETTERMENT AND FOR THE NATION.

Govt. of India has already equated Madrassa education equal to Kendriya Vidyalaya.See, Congress is out to help Mass Indian population.Sonia, Mayawati, Lallo go to Hell

IIT campuses must understand market and tell its students that IIT is not a ticket to riches, but only to higher knowledge level,Most of the over achievers in life have failed initially.Edison Einstien Newton never got a great life after thier education, they got it after they discovered something really great.Failure is part of success if the fight to succeed is not given up.Parents must also understand that market particularly job market does not work as they "think" it should.DiruBhai ambani did not study big studies but he acquired knowledge which made Bill Clinton spend 2 hours with him to learn.College educcation only gives fundamentals it does not ensure success,This is a reality.Only hardwork, right application of knowledge gives success.

Nehru family members are not martyrs. They were simply criminals. The killing of Indira and Rajiv were just consequences of duties they did not perform what they were supposed to do. They did not nourish the law and order system, rather created the law and order problem so that they can manipulate the people's mandate in order to remain in the power. They knowingly encouraged corruption so that they can produce vote fetching delegates, fund party and themselves from the commissions. They exactly got what they deserved. Nehru family is solely responsible for the lawlessness and existing corruption in India. Now situation has become so worse that very few dare to start a new venture in India and so we don't have jobs even for few hundred IITians, except 3rd grade leftover outsourced jobs offered by so called big Indian companies.

Getting admission in IITs and IIMs is a dream to every brilliant student.Naturally subjects are tough.But all the students are getting through as they are already intelligent,but most of the time they are under tension,as they are always behind the subjects and it is quite nature.University authorities can easily understand the students' mental tension and one time I heard that authorities are arranging for the councilling of such students with leading psychiatristics to get relief of their tensions.Surely that will give good result.But in this particular case when Mr Suman failed to get job from the campus interview,his disappointment should have watched by his close friends and they would have consoled him and encouraged him to try for anothr job. In general, authorities could have called the students who were not selected and advised them in the appropriate way so that they would be free from the grief totally.If Universities introduce meditation for all it will reduce tension.

I think it is high time that IIT registers it's alumni with on campus jobs those who fail to get jobs. Also, these students can work for NGO's as technical support!
