With the NEET PG 2026 exam only days away, messages about a supposed question paper leak are spreading across Telegram, WhatsApp and Instagram. The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences, or NBEMS, has called these claims false and fraudulent.
The NEET PG 2026 examination is scheduled for August 30, 2026. It will be held in a single shift. NBEMS has asked candidates to stay alert and rely only on official updates while they complete their final exam preparation.
What did NBEMS say about the alleged paper leak?
NBEMS has warned candidates about social media posts, messages and advertisements that claim to offer the NEET PG 2026 question paper or other confidential exam material. Some messages may use phrases such as “confirmed paper”, “leaked paper” or “80 to 90% matching paper” to attract attention.
The board has rejected these claims. It has also warned that people behind such offers may ask candidates to pay money or share personal details. Some links may lead to fake websites, while some accounts may pretend to represent exam officials or coaching groups.
A message with a fancy logo is still just a message. It does not become official because it uses the name of NBEMS or includes a picture of an admit card.
How the scam may work
Fraudsters often target students when exam pressure is high. They may contact candidates through direct messages or private groups and promise access to secret material. The first message may ask for a small fee. After payment, the person may demand more money or stop replying.
In other cases, a link may ask candidates to enter their name, phone number, email address, application details or payment information. A QR code may also send money to an unknown account. Sharing such information can lead to financial loss, identity misuse or unwanted calls.
What NEET PG candidates should do
- Do not believe claims about a leaked or confirmed question paper.
- Do not pay any person or group that promises confidential exam material.
- Do not scan unknown QR codes shared in messages or social media groups.
- Do not open suspicious links or download files from unknown accounts.
- Do not share application details, passwords, one-time passwords or payment information.
- Do not forward unverified messages to other candidates.
- Check exam updates only through the official NBEMS website and authorised notices.
Candidates should also check the sender before trusting any notice. A genuine update should be available through an official NBEMS channel. If a message appears only in a private group and asks for money, treat it as a scam.
Where should candidates check for updates?
NBEMS has advised candidates to depend on its official communications and authorised websites for information about NEET PG 2026. This includes updates about the exam date, test city, admit card, reporting time, exam rules and other instructions.
Candidates should type the official website address into their browser instead of clicking a link sent by an unknown person. They should also avoid relying on screenshots, forwarded posts or videos that do not include a clear source.
What to do if you have paid money
If you have paid a fraudster, contact your bank or payment service at once. Save screenshots of the chat, payment receipt, phone number, account details and website address. These records can help with a complaint.
You can also report online financial fraud through India’s cybercrime reporting system or by calling the cyber fraud helpline at 1930. If you shared passwords or other account details, change them and inform the concerned service provider.
A simple check before you trust a message
Pause before you click, pay or share. Ask three questions: Is the source official? Does the message ask for money or private information? Can I find the same update on the NBEMS website?
If the answer looks doubtful, delete the message, block the account and report it on the platform. Keep your focus on your study plan, admit card instructions and exam-day requirements rather than chasing paper leak rumours.
