I think all these fake NASA geniuses in India happens because of competitive pressure. Score 99% in exams is not good enough anymore, you have to standout. And what better way to standout as an exceptional student by claim that you are a NASA genius. Even small time/low tier colleges in India are creating fake "NASA Challenges" to boost student intake and their bottom lines.
