India’s National Testing Agency (NTA) asks for the restriction of the Telegram app in the country until June 21, according to reports citing the agency. The NTA says the decision follows complaints and findings that multiple Telegram groups are advertising fake exam papers related to the upcoming NEET examination and are defrauding candidates who pay for those materials. The reports link the restriction to the NEET-UG re-exam process, describing the action as a response to fraudulent activity affecting applicants. The NTA’s stated basis for the request is the presence of misleading posts and offers on Telegram that claim to provide access to legitimate papers or question sets, which candidates may believe are authentic. Other details such as the scope of takedowns, enforcement timelines beyond the stated date, or information on any additional platforms were not specified in the provided summaries. The restriction remains tied to the NTA’s request and is scheduled to continue until June 21.
