One student named Sirisha even went as far as setting herself on fire over the weekend in Narayanpet district, Telangana state.

A letter from India’s Congress said, as reported by Latestly.com: “Nearly 25 students are reported to have committed suicide due to the faulty results published by the TSBIE.

On April 25, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao promised that recounting and verification would be done on students who failed their exams, according to the Times. He urged students not to kill themselves, adding that failing the exam isn’t the end of life.
