A remarkable academic achievement has drawn attention after triplets from Bantwal secured impressive and closely matched scores in the SSLC examinations, reflecting strong discipline, teamwork, and consistent academic effort.

The trio comes from a modest background. Their father Prabhakar works as a hotel cook, while their mother Vanitha is a beedi worker. Despite financial challenges, the siblings have maintained strong academic performance since their early schooling years.
The students said their success is the result of a disciplined study routine and mutual support. They explained that they study together, revise together, and motivate each other, which helps them maintain consistency in their results. They also noted that their marks have often been similar in previous exams as well.
Teachers said the triplets’ resemblance and academic similarity often create confusion in class, but their focus and commitment remain clearly distinct. The school management praised their achievement, stating that the institution has recorded excellent overall results this year, with the trio standing out.
Representatives of the school said the achievement highlights the importance of perseverance, structured learning, and family support in overcoming economic challenges.
The triplets plan to continue their education in the pre-university level at Poonjalakatte, with aspirations of further academic success. Their story has been widely appreciated as an example of determination and collective effort leading to excellence despite limited resources.
