Fake NTA and exam portals messages and links
Fake NTA admit card charges, revised-result logins and seat guarantees target students and parents. Use the official site.
The National Testing Agency conducts national entrance exams such as JEE Main, NEET and CUET, and publishes admit cards and results on its own portals. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be NTA and exam portals in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake NTA and exam portals messages
- NTA: your admit card is ready, pay a download charge at this link
- Result revised, log in with your application number and password to see it
- Seat guaranteed in a top college, pay the counselling advance
- Your exam form has an error, resubmit with a late fee on this page
How to verify it yourself
Admit cards, correction windows and results are published on the agency's official website, which you should type by hand, and they are free to download. Marks cannot be changed by an officer for money, and no one can sell exam papers or guaranteed seats. College counselling is run through official counselling portals and fees are paid there, not to a person's account. Keep your application number and password to yourself, and refer to the official notice on the exam website.
Quick checklist
- Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
- Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
- Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
- If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.
