A breach of data privacy in India has surfaced in which the data of the applicants of a medical entrance exam is being sold blatantly online.
Nari Technologies which offers career counseling has hoarded data of more than 250,000 appearing in National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET) and this data is put up for sale for a price of Rs. 1,00,000.
NEET is the standard entrance exam for medical and dental undergraduate courses which is conducted by CBSE and more than 1.3 million students appear for it each year.
This database contains critical information such as name, examination roll number, all-India rank, and their mobile numbers.
