In a press release, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said, “It has come to the notice of the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) that some unscrupulous agents are making false and bogus claims by dint of social media platform, viz., Telegram Messenger. The cozeners are claiming to provide NEET-PG 2024 questions for the upcoming NEET-PG 2024 Examination in exchange for a considerable amount of money.”
The release further stated that the NBEMS has already registered a police complaint against the fraudsters for their attempt to fool the NEET-PG aspirants.
“It is clarified that NBEMS has already registered a police complaint against such fraudsters and their accomplices for their attempt to befool NEET-PG aspirants in the name of providing questions of NEET-PG 2024 for a considerable sum of money,” it stated.

“By the present notice, NBEMS denies such false claims made by the Telegram channel titled “NEET-PG LEAKED MATERIAL” and cautions applicants for NEET-PG 2024 to not get allured/misled by such unscrupulous elements who are trying to befool them by claiming to have access to questions of upcoming NEET-PG 2024.
