The Board warned the candidates to stay alert against any “fake messages” or “leaked news” being circulated under the NBEMS name regarding the postponement of the exam.
New Delhi: The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has issued an urgent advisory for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET-PG 2025) exam candidates. The Board warned the candidates to stay alert against any “fake messages” or “leaked news” being circulated under the NBEMS name regarding the postponement of the exam. The Board has also cautioned against any offers for leaked question papers or guaranteed marks. There are only two official websites – natboard.edu.in & nbe.edu.in – through which the Board communicates; however, a new official WhatsApp channel has now been created to clarify any suspicions candidates may have, says the Board in the official notice released on July 10.
NBEMS Warns NEET Aspirants
According to the Notice issued by the board, candidates should be cautious against spoofed notices, emails, SMS, and social media posts being circulated by unknown users claiming to be messengers of NBEMS. These imposters often circulate misleading information and deceptive claims of assistance in the exam process.
The Notice said “Unscrupulous agents or touts may make false and bogus claims to candidates using spoofed content in the name of NBEMS for phishing,” the notice reads. “Candidates are hereby advised not to be allured or misled by such individuals making fake promises of help through forged documents or messages.”
Through this, the NBEMS clarified that it does not send any emails or messages containing assurance of assistance or “good marks” in the examinations. They reiterated that all official updates and notices are only shared via the NBEMS official website – natboard.edu.in. It is advisable for candidates to cross-verify any information they receive.

Additionally, the board has mentioned that all official notices released by NBEMS since July 2020 includes a QR code that can be scanned to access the original message on the official website. Any message or notice without this QR code should be considered suspicious.
In case a candidate is approached by someone claiming to be a NBEMS representative who promises to provide exam papers or promises favours on spoofed communication or social media should be immediately reported to local law enforcement authorities and to NBEMS at reportumc@natboard.edu.in.
Candidates must stay vigilant and verify all updates from the source. They should avoid falling prey to such fraud imposter during the NEET-PG 2025 exam cycle.
