Mohit, who was from Tarapur in Maharastra, got the admission this year itself.
Last evening, after playing Cricket for about 2-hours, he went to his room for rest but after some time when his friends came to his room they found him lying unconscious on the floor, IIT Deen Student Welfare Prof A K Gosh told reporters here.
Mohit was rushed to a health centre in the campus where he breathed his last, Ghosh said.
His body was sent for the post mortem.
