The National Testing Agency (NTA) has issued a strong warning to all students and parents about fake news spreading online. This fake news claims that the question papers for JEE Main 2026 have been leaked. NTA has clearly stated that these claims are false and are part of online scams.
The warning comes at a crucial time when many students are preparing for or taking the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main 2026. Such false information can confuse students and their families, leading to stress and wrong decisions. NTA wants to make sure everyone knows the truth: there is no JEE Main 2026 paper leak.
Fake Paper Leak Claims Are Scams
NTA has found that many groups and accounts on social media apps like Telegram and WhatsApp are making these fake claims. These groups tell students they have access to JEE Main question papers for 2026. They then ask for money or personal details from students in exchange for these supposed papers.
NTA wants to be very clear: JEE Main question papers are never given out, sold, shared, or leaked through any social media app. This includes Telegram, WhatsApp, or any other online platform. Anyone asking for money or details for these papers is trying to cheat you.
Risks of Believing Fake News
Engaging with these fake claims can cause serious problems for students. If you believe these scams, you could face:
- Financial Loss: You might lose money by paying for papers that do not exist.
- Personal Data Misuse: Sharing your personal information with these scam channels can lead to your data being used for wrong purposes.
- Wrong Information:You might get incorrect or made-up information about the exam, which can harm your preparation and performance.
NTA strongly advises students not to trust any unofficial source on social media. Your exam preparation should be based on hard work and official study materials, not on shortcuts offered by fraudsters.
