Twin Sisters: Ganjam’s twin sisters get identical marks in Class X | Bhubaneswar News
Berhampur: They were separated at birth by just two minutes. They have to wear different coloured frames to help teachers identify them from one another. But nothing could separate them in the Class X exams. Twin sisters Karina and Karisma Biswal, students of Saraswati Sishu Mandir at Balugaon in Ganjam district, stunned everybody by securing identical marks in the Class X board exams, the results of which were announced on Monday.
Both scored 552 out of 600 with identical 99 in Hindi. “Initially we had some doubts seeing the same marks next to our names. We cross-checked three-four times,” said Karina, the elder sister. “We are happy as we have got the same marks in the board exam,” she said.
Daughters of Kartik Sahu, who works in a private firm in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, secured identical marks earlier in school as well. “Since they look the same, it used to be difficult for teachers to identify them. To help matters, they wear separate coloured frames,” school principal Prahallad Dash said. Both followed the same routine while preparing for the board exam. “We provided extra coaching to the duo along with some others to help secure good marks,” Dash said. Separated by only two minutes at birth, Karina is older than Karisma, said Jhunu Sahu, mother of the twin sister.
“The two sisters are inseparable,” said Jhunu. “When I scold one, the other immediately comes to her defence,” she said, proud of their achievements. Though they have several similarities, their dreams differ. While Karisma wants to be a professor, Karina hopes to be a banker. “Now we will study Plus II science in the same college. After completing Plus II, we will plan our future,” said Karina.
