Some students spotted her sitting on the edge of the building and rushed to stop her, but she jumped before they could reach her, police said. “We have spoken to her classmates, but no reason has come to light so far,” a police official said.
The incident took place shortly before a mid-semester examination scheduled for 9.45 am. The university subsequently postponed the examination following the incident. She later went to the sixth floor of the university building.
The student had received a phone call before entering the examination hall, according to police. Her classmates told university authorities that she had been speaking to them shortly before the incident.
