**NEW DELHI** – The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that it is fully prepared for the NEET UG 2025 exam, scheduled for May 4th, from 2 pm to 5 pm. Over 22.7 lakh students are expected to take the exam at 5,453 centers across India and 13 international cities. Successful mock drills were conducted at all exam centers to ensure seamless operations.

The NTA is taking a strong stance against the spread of misinformation surrounding the exam. Following a surge in fake news and rumors, the agency has urged students to rely solely on official NTA communication. In collaboration with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), the NTA has reported numerous cases of misinformation, leading to the closure of over 165 Telegram groups and 32 Instagram profiles promoting fraudulent content and services.

State authorities are also actively involved in combating cheating attempts. Following reports of individuals offering inflated scores for money in Rajkot, Gujarat, and similar incidents in Odisha, legal action has been initiated against the perpetrators. The NTA has confirmed that state-level vigilance is heightened nationwide to prevent malpractice.

The NTA strongly advises students to ignore any unauthorized individuals or intermediaries promising exam assistance or admissions in exchange for payment. Such actions will be prosecuted under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, resulting in severe penalties.
