Mohit, 18, was found seriously injured in a pool of blood by the hostel's staff who rushed to the spot after hearing a loud noise, police said today.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died.
It was, however, not clear whether it was a case of suicide or accident, police said adding that investigations in the case were in progress.
According to police, Mohit had returned from his hometown last night after a week's holiday.
The college's director Ajay said an inquiry committee has been constituted to probe into the circumstances which led to Mohit's death. "Mohit was a good student and used to score over 80 per cent marks. His attendance too was over 85 per cent," he said.
