Far From Fact

Far From Fact

Husein Merchant and Keshav Naidu

A weekly podcast from India, that is not about Science, Pop Culture, Technology, Sport, News, Sociology, or the Internet, and yet, all at once it is. Far From Fact is designed to cater to your basic need for ignorance. Catch the lads, as they fake-solve real problems on a weekly basis. This podcast is presented by Husein Merchant and Keshav Naidu. Husein is an optimist who loves observing things while being lazy. He is observing you even as you read this. Keshav recently came out as a comedian, and his family is still processing the embarrassment, but he is confident they will come around and accept him for the person he is. You can follow them on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/farfromfact/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/farfromfact/) @farfromfact

Far From Fact

play

06/11/24 • 23 min

The NEET UG 2024 exam has been embroiled in controversy. Allegations include a question paper leak before the test, and the National Testing Agency (NTA) awarding “grace marks” to 1,563 students who faced issues during the exam. Despite claims of hundreds of marks being awarded as grace marks, the NTA maintains that it hasn’t impacted the qualifying criteria. Additionally, eight students from the same center in Haryana scored a perfect 720/720, raising further suspicion.

Join the lads as they dive deep and attempt to solve exam paper leaks once and for all.
