NTA Cautions the Public Against Impersonation Fraud

What Is the NEET Impersonation Scam?

The NTA has received reports of fraudsters posing as NTA officials, agents, or representatives. These individuals:

Claim they can manipulate NEET or other exam results
Offer leaked question papers for money
Promise guaranteed high scores or admissions
Contact students via phone calls, WhatsApp, emails, or social media

NTA has clearly stated that it does not appoint any agents and does not communicate privately with candidates for result-related matters.

All official communication is released only through authorized NTA websites and exam portals.
