Caught cheating in exam, 19-year-old college student dies by suicide in Greater Noida
The girl, from Bihar's Vaishali, was studying at Greater Noida Institute of Technology and had shifted to Beta-2 with her mother and two sisters to complete the engineering course.

Though the student was later allowed to write the test in a new answer booklet, the incident had left her distressed, and she even approached the college authorities to discuss the matter.
Following her death, a complaint was lodged against KCC College management under Section 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
A senior officer confirmed that police were exploring all angles and will question college officials about the July 9 incident.
This case comes weeks after Jyoti Sharma, a BDS student at Noida's Sharda University, allegedly died by suicide, accusing university staff of harassment. Two faculty members were arrested in the case and later suspended by the university.
Jyoti's family alleged that the faculty member in question had accused her of forging signatures.

SC directs manual evaluation of NEET-UG aspirant's answer script
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the manual evaluation of the answer script of a NEET-UG 2025 aspirant, who alleged erroneous page sequencing in his question paper. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and K V Viswanathan ordered the result of evaluation to be placed on record. 'He (petitioner) will have the satisfaction of getting his papers manually checked,' the bench said. The aspirant claimed the wrong sequencing of pages in the NEET-UG question paper. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) examination is conducted by the National Testing Agency for admissions to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country. Additional Solicitor General Archana Pathak Dave, appearing for the respondents, put of a copy of the question paper on record to explain that the mistake arose due to incorrect stapling. 'However, in order to satisfy ourselves, we direct that the petitioner's paper shall be evaluated manually and the result of the evaluation be placed on the record. The said exercise shall be carried out within a period of one week,' the bench said. Dave said the stapling of the question paper was a manual exercise. 'The least that could be done is to give the questions in seriatim,' the bench said. It added, 'Look at the panic of the candidate. It is not an ordinary exam.' The law officer said only semi-skilled or semi-literate people were employed for the stapling work. 'If we give it to a literate person and if he staples it, we know for sure that one or two questions he can memorise and they can go out,' she said, calling it a 'rarest of rare' instance. The bench, however, remarked that '17-18 year old' students were dying by suicide. 'Please don't try to justify,' the top court said and posted the hearing for August 12.
