The data, allegedly leaked from official records, is being peddled to touts, coaching institutes and marketing firms for sums ranging between ₹3,500 and ₹15,000.

The NEET-PG 2025 examination was held on August 3. The counselling is expected to start by the third week of October.

A simple online search with terms like ‘NEET PG 2025 student data’ throws up several portals openly advertising ‘student databases’ as commodities.
