The matter was reported around 6 pm at Kishangarh Police Station.
According to the institute's rules, Anil Kumar was supposed to vacate the hostel room in June, but since he could not qualify some subjects he was given an extension for six months to clear his subjects, the officer said.
The door was closed from inside and had to be broken open by the fire department.
The dean of students/CMO IIT, chief security officer, crime and forensic teams were present at the time of breaking of the door.
No foul play has been observed so far. Inquest proceedings are being conducted, police added.
