Mysuru: SSLC student ends life over marks despite first class result
Mysuru: A 16-year-old girl studying in a private school in Nanjangud allegedly died by suicide after reportedly feeling upset over scoring lower marks than expected in the SSLC examination, though she had passed in first class.
The deceased has been identified as Trishala, daughter of Shivakumar and Savitha of Kurahatti village in Nanjangud taluk.
She had been studying in a private high school in Nanjangud town and was waiting for the SSLC results.
After the results were announced, Trishala had secured 440 marks and passed in first class. However, it is said that she believed she had written the examination well enough to secure distinction marks.
Upset over the result, she allegedly hanged herself at home when no one else was present in the house.
