Not only IIT are NITs, but students from Central Universities, Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISERs), Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITs) and the School of Planning and Architecture (SPAs) have seen suicide due to pressure mounted for some unstable conditions.

Students living in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are seeing more suicides as per the central government. Students residing in these states are killing themselves. Kota, which is famous for coaching institutes alone saw five suicides of teenagers in August. In the last eight months, 23 students killed themselves in Kota.
