The pressure of medical school is world renowned - and one dental student in Pakistan may have succumbed to it in the most violent way.

Abdul Basit, who was in his final year at Hamdard University in Karachi, died early Tuesday morning from burns he suffered after reportedly setting himself on fire because he was unable to sit an exam he failed seven times before.

 

He was apparently late after his car broke down.

 

Distraught over this rejection, the university says he doused himself in petrol and lit himself on fire. He died at a nearby hospital with burns over 95 percent of his body.

 

The student was denied entry because he reached the venue 30 minutes late, university principal Dr Usman Ghani Khan told ARY News.

 

Witnesses also allege he was told to pay a sum of money when arriving late and taunted by an examiner to douse himself in petrol.

 

“Other students said the teachers were not letting him sit the exam,†an unidentified man told ARY News“They asked for money and told him unless he paid up, he wouldn’t be allowed in. The teacher then said ‘Here is some petrol, go set yourself on fire’.â€

That's awful! It's terrible how such a ridiculous amount of stress can lead to him taking his own life, and may I add how disgusting it is that a teacher of all people suggested that he take his own life - joking, or not, suggesting someone to go die is awful.
