A 22-year-old engineering student was stabbed to death allegedly by his juniors at a private university on Jaipur-Delhi national highway near here, police said on Wednesday.

He hailed from Uttar Pradesh and stayed at the university hostel. Police have detained four students in connection with the incident.
