India's renowned Kota coaching institutes – whose sole purpose is to prepare high-school students for brutally difficult university entrance examinations – have produced nine suicides this year, and 56 in the last five years. This is what happens when an entire country commits to a perverse conception of academic excellence.

  • NEW DELHI In late April, a 17-year-old girl named Kriti Tripathi leaped to her death in Kota, India, shortly after passing the countrys examination for admission to the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT).
  • A week later, another Kota student, Preeti Singh, hanged herself, succumbing to her injuries after a few days.
  • All attended Kotas coaching institutes, whose sole purpose is to prepare high-school students for the IIT Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).
  • Indias medical profession is controlled by the Medical Council of India, an opaque and self-serving cabal that has intentionally limited the supply of available medical college seats.
