In a replay of the Gurgaon school shooting last month, police said the assailant whipped out a country-made revolver and gunned down the 15-year-old victim, an eighth-standard student in the school in Chorbani village.
It was not immediately known what prompted the shooting during school hours but there were reports that it occurred after a scuffle between the two students, police said of the incident reminiscent of the gun violence in schools in the US.
The injured student was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries on the way.
The exact cause of the quarrel was not yet known, Satna Superintendent of Police Kamal Singh Rathore said.
Police have registered a case and investigations are underway but no arrests have been made so far.
On December 11, an eighth standard student of an elite school in Gurgaon was killed when two classmates allegedly pumped five bullets into him at point blank range in perhaps the first such shooting in a school in the country. Old grudge was believed to have triggered this incident.
