Mumbai twins Rohan and Rahul Chembakasserill not just look identical but have also scored an identical percentage of 96.5 per cent in Class 12 ICSE exams.

The elated duo who studied at Jasudben M L School in Mumbai's Khar area plan to pursue a career in Science.

"They don't just look exactly the same but have same habits too. They always fall ill together and feel hungry at the same time but scoring exactly the same marks has also took us by surprise," their mother Sonal Chembakasseril told PTI over phone from Mumbai.

"Rohan and Rahul have studied together in school. They even do their revisions together at home," she added.
