The NTA also warned that such rumours are being circulated by organised cheating networks attempting to exploit students and parents for financial gain.
The agency stated that these groups create fake question papers and attempt to sell them online, preying on exam anxiety. It stressed that all such content is fabricated and unrelated to the actual examination process.
The NTA confirmed it is actively tracking and reporting such accounts to cybercrime authorities and social media platforms for immediate removal.
It also said formal complaints are being filed against individuals involved in spreading or promoting fraudulent content, warning that strict legal action will follow.
Students and parents have been urged not to believe or forward unverified messages. The agency reiterated that all official updates will be shared only through its verified communication channels.
Candidates were advised to remain focused on preparation and avoid falling prey to scams circulating online.
The NEET-UG exam, conducted for admission to medical courses, was earlier held on May 3 but later cancelled on May 12 following allegations of irregularities. A re-examination has been scheduled for June 21, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continuing its probe.
