NEET PG 2026 question paper leak claims rejected by NBEMS
With the NEET PG 2026 examination only days away, messages and posts claiming access to the question paper have surfaced across social-media platforms. According to NBEMS, such claims are false and fraudulent.
The board has specifically cautioned candidates against individuals or accounts promising “leaked”, “confirmed” or supposedly “80–90% matching” question papers. Such offers may also involve requests for money or attempts to obtain personal information from aspirants.
Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram posts under scrutiny
The warning covers content being circulated through Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram, along with suspicious websites, links and social-media accounts. NBEMS has urged candidates not to believe or amplify information that has not been verified through its official communication channels.
The examination authority has also cautioned candidates about deceptive advertisements and fraudulent accounts that may present themselves as having access to confidential examination material.
NBEMS warns candidates against fake paper sellers
Aspirants could encounter individuals or groups demanding payment in exchange for purported question papers or other secret examination content. NBEMS has advised candidates not to make payments based on such claims.
The board has also asked candidates not to disclose personal information to suspicious accounts or interact with links whose authenticity cannot be established. Unverified offers promising advance access to examination material should be treated with caution.
Do not scan suspicious QR codes or forward fake claims
NBEMS has specifically warned candidates against scanning unfamiliar or suspicious QR codes associated with alleged NEET PG 2026 examination material. Candidates should also avoid engaging with accounts that make unverifiable promises about the question paper.
