The video was also shared by other accounts associated with the BJP, archives of which can be seen here, here, here, and here.

But...?: Both videos are old, and show visuals of students who appeared and passed the 2024 NEET exams.

How did we find out the truth?: We ran reverse image searches on both videos of the clip.

Video 1

• Running the search on the first video led us to an Instagram post dated 26 November 2024, which showed a wider version of the video.

• The post was shared with the hashtags 'alakhsir' and 'physicswallah', referring to the the ed-tech platform.

• Another post, shared in November 2024, identified the student as one Sarfaraz, noting that he cleared NEET to secure a seat at the Nil Ratan Sarkar Medical College in West Bengal.

• A keyword for 'Sarfaraz Physicswallah' led us to a news article by The Times of India which had reported on Sarfaraz' success.

• It said that Sarfaraz, a 21-year-old labourer, had cleared the exam for the second time in 2024, after clearing it the year prior but being unable to pursue studies due to financial issues.

• After finding out about his struggle, ed-tech platform Physicswallah's Alakh Pandey offered to pay his fees and offered him a loan, TOI reported.

• Pandey had also shared Sarfaraz' video on his Instagram account back in November 2024.

Video 2

• Following the same process for the second clip led us to a Facebook post shared by retired IPS officer Sylendra Babu, who shared it on 27 August 2024.

• He mentioned that the video shows one Nagaraj, who cleared NEET in 2024 and secured a seat at the Madurai Medical College in Tamil Nadu.

• A keyword search for 'Nagaraj Madurai Medical College' led us to a YouTube showing the same visuals shared by News18 Tamil Nadu on 29 August 2024.

• It mentioned that Nagaraj, a student from Karaikudi, secured a seat at the government medical college in Madurai.

Conclusion: The BJP shared two old, unrelated videos, claiming to show student success stories after the NEET 2026 re-exams.
