Secret Behind the Identical Score
It is hard to believe that two individuals can score the same in such a complex exam. Every student knows that JEE preparation requires immense discipline, and these twins followed a synchronised schedule:
-
Study Together: They cleared each other’s doubts immediately rather than waiting for coaching classes.
-
Mutual Motivation: On days when one felt low or scored less in mock tests, the other was there to lift his spirits.
-
Healthy Competition: They often ranked 1st and 2nd in their coaching institute tests, pushing each other to do better.
Masroor mentioned that while he sometimes made silly mistakes, talking to his teachers and his brother helped him refine his technique. Mahroof added that following the NCERT textbooks and the guidance provided by their mentors in Kota was the key to their high scores.
