Student with 99.99 percentile in NEET dies by suicide on day of admission
A 19-year-old NEET high scorer from Maharashtra’s Chandrapur district died by suicide on Wednesday, the day he was scheduled to leave for admission to a medical college.
The victim, identified as Anurag Anil Borkar, reportedly left behind a suicide note stating that he did not want to become a doctor despite securing a very high percentile in the National-level medical entrance exam.
A resident of Nawargaon in Sindewahi Taluk, Anurag lived with his family and had recently cleared the NEET UG 2025 examination with a 99.99 percentile and secured an All-India Rank of 1,475 in the OBC category.
After the publication of results, he was prepared to travel to Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, for an MBBS course admission. The police said that Anurag died by suicide at his residence before he could leave for Gorakhpur. He was found hanging at home.
The police confirmed that a suicide note was recovered from his house. While officials have not released the contents of the note to the media, police sources stated off the record that Anurag had written that he did not wish to become a doctor. The case is currently under investigation by the Navargaon Police.
