As the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) PG 2024 approaches, a social media post has generated significant concern among candidates and netizens. With just four days left before the examination, a post dated August 7 on X (formerly Twitter) by user Dr. Dhruv Chauhan has raised alarms over a potential question paper leak.
The post highlights claims from various Telegram pages reportedly offering to sell NEET PG question papers. Dr. Chauhan’s post stated, “Hundreds of Telegram pages claiming to sell NEET PG papers should be on the radar of cybercrime and intelligence agencies, as these might or might not have the papers which need investigation.” He included screenshots of conversations from group chats and individuals allegedly discussing prices to ‘book slots’ for leaked materials.

One screenshot revealed a group named ‘NEET-PG LEAKED MATERIALS’ with over 20,600 subscribers, discussing prices for the leaked material. According to the messages, the cost for accessing the leaked material was ₹75,000, with a ₹35,000 advance required. The messages also claimed that the materials would be provided one day before the exam.

The post has sparked widespread concern and debate among netizens. Some expressed skepticism, questioning the authenticity of the claims and fearing that the whole scenario might be a scam to exploit candidates. Dr. Raj K. Bhagat argued, “It’s unlikely that the paper can be prepared just 2 hours before the exam. The claim that the exam materials are prepared just before the exam is baseless.” Others, like Dr. Yash Oza, warned that the alleged leak might be a fraud intended to deceive students.
Adding to the tension, the All FMGs Association (AFA) recently reported the potential leak of a confidential letter from the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), which oversees the NEET PG. This letter reportedly included sensitive details about the exam’s schedule, mode, and centers, raising further concerns about the integrity of the examination process.
As the examination date approaches, the lack of an official response from NBEMS has left many anxious. The situation underscores the urgent need for robust measures to ensure the security and fairness of the NEET PG 2024 exam. Will authorities take swift action to address these concerns before the exam day? Only time will tell.
