In an extraordinary yet heartwarming academic feat, identical twins Archishman and Ayushman Mohanta of Techno India Group Public School, Balurghat secured the exact same percentage – 99.2% – in their Class X board examinations. While such a coincidence may seem almost unbelievable, their journey reflects something far deeper than shared DNA, it tells a story of discipline, companionship, and a uniquely balanced approach to learning.
Growing up together, sharing classrooms, books, and even study routines, the twins developed a rhythm that was both competitive and comforting. Speaking about their results, Archishman shared, “When we got to see the scores, we were very happy and exhilarated to have achieved such a great score in our class X board exams, which was our first all-India exam.”
The surprise of their identical scores made the achievement even more special. “We did not believe that we would get the exact same score. Landing above 99% was really a wonderful thing to happen to us,” he added.
Their preparation was not without a sense of competition. Ayushman admitted, “When it comes to exams, there was definitely a rivalry.” He further explained, “During the exam time, we tried to outdo each other and get the better position.” Yet, this rivalry never turned into pressure – instead, it became a motivating force.
What truly defined their journey was their ability to work together. Archishman noted, “We did most of the things together. We shared the notes. The timetable might have been different at times, but otherwise, it was almost the same.” Their shared effort created a strong foundation that helped both of them stay consistent and focused.
Their preparation strategy remained simple and effective. Rather than relying heavily on external coaching, they focused on self-study and consistent practice. As Ayushman explained, “After finishing the syllabus, we started practicing sample papers, which helped because the questions were based on board pattern.”
Their story also highlights the quiet strength of routine. There were no shortcuts – just steady effort, day after day. They maintained a balance between serious study and mental well-being, ensuring that learning remained engaging rather than overwhelming.
Scoring above 99% is an achievement in itself, but doing so in perfect unison adds an almost poetic dimension to their success. It reflects how two individuals, even while sharing so much in common, can motivate each other to reach the same heights.
In a time where academic journeys are often seen as solitary and intensely competitive, the Mohanta twins offer a refreshing perspective. Their story reminds us that sometimes, success feels even more meaningful when it is shared.
Heartiest congratulations to Archishman and Ayushman Mohanta on this remarkable achievement, and best wishes for the bright paths that lie ahead.
