IN a shocking data breach ahead of NEET-PG 2025 counselling, personal details of thousands of medical aspirants—including their names, contact numbers, addresses, scores and department preferences—have been found on sale across multiple websites.
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.
