NEET PG 2025 Data Breach: Aspirants’ Personal Details Sold Online for ₹3,599

Amid counselling delays candidates have reported unsolicited calls as NEET PG data surfaces on Telegram and web listings

In a major privacy lapse personal data of over 1.38 lakh NEET PG 2025 candidates has reportedly been leaked and is being sold online for as low as ₹3,599. The data leak revelation has sparked widespread anger among aspirants and doctors, with growing calls for accountability from National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) and National Medical Commission (NMC).

The leaked database is said to contain names, fathers’ names, phone numbers, email addresses, application IDs, roll numbers, cities, states, scores, and ranks — information meant to remain strictly confidential. Multiple online listings and Telegram channels are openly offering the “NEET PG 2025 Student Database” as a digital product, with prices ranging between ₹3,000 and ₹8,500.

In order to attract potential buyers, some sellers have even shared sample details of students displaying details of around 200 NEET PG 2025 students. One of the listing is offering full data set for just ₹3,599. Random verifications have confirmed leaked phone numbers of aspirants, many of them have expressed shock and concern over exposure of their personal details.

Aspirants have reported a surge in unsolicited calls and messages from private “counsellors” promising postgraduate medical seats under management and NRI quotas — offers that clearly bypass the official Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) process. “I have received calls from NEET PG counsellors for the past few days. How did they get my phone number? Many websites are selling the NEET PG 2025 student database, which is a complete breach of privacy,” said one candidate, requesting anonymity.

The outrage has exploded across social media, with several doctors and medical students condemning the incident. Dr Vibhor Gupta, founder of The Medical Bulletin, posted on X, “It’s deeply unfortunate that the personal data of 1,38,456 NEET PG aspirants has reportedly been leaked and sold online for just ₹3,599. The website allegedly displays sample data publicly to build trust with potential buyers.”

Medical student Abhishek Ranjan also voiced anger: “#NEETPG students’ personal data, ID, roll number — all being sold online like a commodity in just ₹3,599. What kind of shameless system is this? NMC and its IT partners have failed miserably in protecting students’ privacy. This isn’t just negligence — it’s a criminal betrayal of trust.”

Echoing the sentiment, another user, @Indian__doctor, termed it “OUTRAGEOUS!”, saying the data — including application IDs, emails, phone numbers, and roll numbers — is being sold “like a commodity in just ₹3,599,” before slamming the authorities: “Shame on @NMC_BHARAT. Shame on the entire rotten system.”

Dr Logik, another user, went a step further, writing, “Data of all NEET PG 2025 candidates has been leaked — including phone numbers, email IDs, parents’ names, and addresses! Each and every exam conducting authority in this Modi era is a joke. No privacy, no accountability!”

The breach has also drawn attention from education accounts on social media, noting that after exam cancellations and court delays, NEET PG 2025 now faces another controversy as students allege their information is being traded online.

This data leak incident has added to the ongoing controversy surrounding NEET PG 2025. Following NEET PG 2025 Result announcement some of the students approached Supreme Court demanding greater transparency, including release of answer keys.
