At a time when several entrance exams in the country are marred by paper leak and cheating cases, a post by All FMGs Association on X is raising concern among postgraduate medical aspirants and other stakeholders.
As per the All FMG Association, a crucial notice from NBEMS has been leaked few days before the NEET PG exam. The matter seems concerning as the medical exam body NBEMS has not yet released any such notice about NEET PG on its official website.
It appears that a confidential letter from NBEMS has been leaked in public, containing information about the exam shift and the number of students taking the exam.
