A woman, appearing to be in her late 20s, jumped off a flyover here Thursday evening after failing in the civil services exam and was admitted to hospital in a critical condition, police said.

Pushpa Yadav, a resident of Delhi's neighbouring town of Gurgaon in Haryana, jumped off the flyover near the Akashardham Temple in east Delhi around 5.45 p.m., a police officer said, adding that no suicide note was found.

She was taken to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, where her condition was said to be critical, said the officer.

Yadav was preparing for the civil services and "was depressed at not being selected", the officer said.

"She reached the area in a Metro train," a witness told police.
