The family and peer pressure to become an engineer seems to have taken yet another life. An 18-year-old IIT Guwahati was found dead in her hostel room on Wednesday.
Nagashree SC, a first-year mechanical engineering student, who is originally from Hosanagara near Shimoga in Karnataka was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her Dhansiri hostel room.

IIT G officials said Nagashree had joined the institute only in July. On Wednesday she stayed back in the hostel telling her roommate that she was not feeling well.
"Nagashree's roommate had left to attend classes in the morning. When she returned, she found the door of the room was locked. No one responded. She alerted the institute's security and local police. The security guards broke the door's lock and found her hanged inside," IIT-Guwahati spokesperson Labanu Konwar said.
