Mahroof Ahmed Khan and Masroor Ahmed Khan

Mahroof and Masroor scored 285 out of 300 in the JEE Main 2026. What's more remarkable is that these two brothers had studied at the same coaching institute in Kota and wrote the exam together.

Mahroof said, "I have been in Kota since class 10, attending the coaching material for three years. I followed the class lectures and took regular tests. I would review and revise my doubts again and again. I also got motivation from my brother. There were always ups and downs, but I always remained motivated. We both studied together from the beginning. Our study time was also the same. We both used to sit on the same study table and motivate each other. We learnt a lot from each other."

Mahroof and Masroor's family, especially their mother, Dr Zeenat Begum, a gynaecologist in the Odisha government, has been a great support to the brothers. She left her job to support her children's education. Three years ago, she moved to Kota to live with them.
