As the NEET PG 2025 exam season nears, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has issued an urgent advisory warning candidates against spoofed notices, emails, SMSes, and fake social media content.
A number of fraudulent messages, often claiming to offer exam postponement, leaked question papers, or guaranteed marks, have recently circulated under the NBEMS name. In a notice dated July 10, 2025, the Board clarified that its only official websites are natboard.edu.in and nbe.edu.in, and that it does not communicate via unofficial channels. It also introduced an official WhatsApp channel, urging students to verify any suspicious message.
Candidates are advised to remain alert, verify all updates from the source, and report phishing attempts.

What NBEMS said in the latest notice
In its July 10 notice, NBEMS raised red flags on several fronts:
- Only two official websites: NBEMS clarified that any information regarding its exams, such as NEET-PG 2025 should be accessed exclusively from:
- Only one verified WhatsApp channel: NBEMS emphasised it does not operate on X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, or any other platform. The only official social media channel is its WhatsApp channel.
- Look for QR codes on notices: Every official NBEMS notice released since July 2020 includes a QR code. Scanning this code redirects users to the corresponding notice on the official website. Notices without this verification should be treated with suspicion.
Watch out of misinformation
NBEMS has highlighted several types of scams currently targeting NEET-PG 2025 aspirants. One common tactic includes spreading false information about the exam schedule, such as bogus claims that the test has been postponed.
In addition, candidates are receiving fraudulent SMS or email messages that offer to help them secure high marks—often in exchange for payment or personal details.There are also widespread false promises about access to leaked question papers. Another alarming trend involves fake agents or touts posing as officials on social media, claiming they can provide exam-related assistance or special favours. NBEMS has firmly warned students not to trust or engage with any such messages and to verify all information through official sources only.
