Rahil Talati refused to seek admission in the coveted government-run medical colleges in Gujarat despite a high score of 641 marks (out of 720) in NEET exams 2020. He chose NHL Municipal Medical College over government colleges for reason more personal than academic.
He wanted to study with his twin brother Rushil, who with a NEET score of 570 marks had got admission into NHL Medical College. Having studied in same class all through their school lives, Rahil wished to continue the trend.
“Rahil and Rushil have always had healthy competition between them. They have been supportive of each other, always there to solve each other’s problems. This is perhaps the first time that there is such a big gap in their marks. Usually there is a difference of 1 percentile or so,” said Dr Ashish Talati, father of the twins, who is a practicing radiologist. Their mother, Dr Hetal is a pathologist.
The father says that he introduced his two sons to architects, engineers, CA and persons known to him from different fields. “I did not want them feel pressured to follow into their parents' footsteps. But in the end, both chose medicine,” said Dr Talati.
Like the Talati twins, Divya Prajapati, with a NEET score of 536 marks and Disha Prajapati, with a score of 529 marks, have secured admission at GMERS Medical College, Himmatnagar.
In fact, there are nine twin siblings who have got admission in medical colleges of Gujarat and are on their way to pursue identical careers. Last year, this number was seven.
All of them haven’t been as lucky as the Prajapatis or Talatis to get admission in the same college.
Take the case of twin brothers Pinkesh Bapodariya and Prince Bapodariya. While Pinkesh has got admission in Surat Medical College after scoring 630 marks in NEET exams, his brother Prince has got admission at GMERS Medical College, Patan.
For their proud father Jayesh Bapodariya, the going hasn’t been easy though. A diamond polisher in Surat, this father had to sell the family's jewellery to pay fund the coaching class fee to enable the twins to crack NEET. P 4
