  "account": "The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has cautioned NEET PG 2026 candidates against spreading false rumors claiming that the question paper for the upcoming medical entrance exam has been leaked. Through its official X account, the board clarified that many posts on social media platforms, including Telegram, WhatsApp, and Instagram, stating that the exam paper has been leaked are merely misinformation. NBEMS has instructed candidates not to act upon these unverified claims and to rely only on official notices and updates from NBEMS. The NEET PG 2026 is set to take place on August 30, with the entrance exam being held in over 1,300 centers across 340 cities in the country. The Union Health Minister, JP Nadda, had previously reviewed exam preparations, emphasizing the need for stringent security measures and vigilance against rumors of paper leaks. The revised exam structure includes more time per question, with 180 questions to be answered in 210 minutes, or 3.5 hours. NBEMS stressed the importance of candidates relying solely on official sources for any information about the exam, including admit cards, center locations, and other instructions.",
