Dealing with exam stress can be tough but overcoming failure can be even more challenging. Such was the case for 22-year-old Nikita Balkrishnan who appeared for her Masters in Computer Application (MCA) examination from SIES College of Management studies in Nerul.

When the MCA results were announced online on Monday morning, Nikita found that she had failed in one subject. Unable to accept failure, she decided to take the extreme step of ending her life by jumping from a speeding train between Kharghar and Kamothe.
