Immediate session with counsellor suggested in exam violation cases
After the suicide of a second-year IIT-Bombay student, suggestions have emerged for improved student support mechanisms. The student's suicide followed allegations of cheating during a mid-semester examination, raising serious concerns about mental health. Proposals include mandatory counseling sessions for students facing examination violations and orientation for parents about the academic environment. Identifying vulnerable students among 14,000 on campus is a significant challenge for the institute.
