NTA launches portal to report suspicious claims related to NEET-UG exam

The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Saturday announced a dedicated platform to report suspicious claims regarding the medical entrance exam NEET-UG, according to officials.

The agency has also advised candidates not to be misled by unscrupulous elements who indulge in malpractice and try to deceive candidates with false claims.

The platform has been announced as a precautionary measure following several alleged irregularities including paper leak in last year's exam.

"Candidates can report any suspicious activities falling in three categories -- unauthorised websites or social media accounts claiming access to NEET question paper; individuals claiming access to exam content and impersonators posing as NTA or government officials," NTA Director General Pradeep Singh Kharola said.

"The reporting form is simple and allows users to describe what they observed, where and when it occurred and upload supporting file. The initiative aligns with the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024 which aims to eliminate unfair practices in public examinations and protect the future of aspirants," he said.

The crucial exam is scheduled for May 4.
