Dipke seeks ‘complete overhaul’ of education system after IIT student's suicide: ‘If this is the situation…'

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), called for a 'complete overhaul' of India's education system following the reported suicide of a 31-year-old IIT Delhi student. Dipke highlighted that 65 student suicides have occurred at IITs over the past five years, suggesting that the situation at these top institutions reflects broader systemic issues. He emphasized the need for an education system that supports students emotionally and academically. The student reportedly jumped from the sixth floor of the Lecture Hall Complex at IIT Delhi, and authorities have registered a case of abetment to suicide against unnamed individuals. IIT Delhi has formed an external investigation panel, headed by retired Delhi High Court judge Mukta Gupta, to look into the circumstances of the incident. Protests by students led to the temporary suspension of classes.
