“The suicide note revealed that he had reached the examination centre after closure of entry. Being late, he was refused entry. That is why he committed suicide,” the official said.

Chandran had gone to appear for the exam at Sarvodya Bal Vidyalaya at Kaseruwalan in Paharganj.

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducted this year’s Civil Services Preliminary Exam on Sunday at various test centres across the country.
