The National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts major national-level examinations like NEET, JEE, CUET, and UGC-NET, has recently issued a strong advisory warning students and the public against impersonation and fraudulent activities. The warning comes after several reports of fake agents and individuals claiming to represent NTA surfaced, offering to manipulate exam results or provide leaked question papers in exchange for money.

NTA clarified that it has no agents or representatives and does not approach candidates through phone calls, emails, or social media messages. All legitimate communication from NTA is made only through its official website (https://www.nta.ac.in) or recognized exam portals. The agency emphasized that such fraudulent claims are criminal offenses and that strict legal action will be taken against those involved.

Students and parents are urged to remain cautious and avoid sharing personal details, application numbers, or OTPs with unknown individuals. NTA also advised candidates not to trust fake websites or coaching centers that promise guaranteed admissions or high scores. Such scams not only result in financial loss but also put a student’s academic career at serious risk.

The advisory further highlights that impersonation during national exams is a serious crime under the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. NTA is working with law enforcement agencies to identify and act against those spreading misinformation or running fraud networks.
This cautionary message serves as an important reminder for students to stay alert and depend solely on official notifications. By spreading awareness about these fraudulent practices, NTA aims to protect the integrity of India’s examination system and ensure a fair, transparent, and merit-based selection process for all candidates.
