If economic hardships and difficult situations are overcome with courage, the path to success becomes clear. Two true brothers from Bihar’s Gayaji district have done something similar. Despite the poor financial condition of the family, both of them worked hard to fulfill their dreams. Elder brother Sonu Raj got admission in medical college with 636 marks in NEET 2026, while younger brother Monu Raj got admission in engineering with 93 percentile in JEE Main.
Both the brothers stayed in Kota, Rajasthan and prepared together for two years. His parents’ abandonment and struggle was also the main reason behind his success.
Father sold land for son’s education
Sonu and Monu’s father Manoj Kumar lives in Gayaji and works as a hawker in the grain market. Apart from this, he also works to sell grains to farmers on commission. Mother Reshmi Devi is a housewife. The financial condition of the family was not good. The father had to work as a laborer under MGNREGA to run the household. The family owned two plots of land, from which grain was grown and expenses were met by selling some of the crops. When Monu expressed his desire to go to Kota for engineering preparation, arranging money was a big challenge. To fulfill his son’s dream, the father sold his land and sent him to Kota.
Even illness could not stop Monu’s preparation
Monu secured 96 percent marks in 10th and 84.5 percent marks in 12th. After studying in Kota, seeing other students of Gayaji becoming doctors and engineers, big dreams also arose in his mind. After this he took admission in Kota. During his studies he faced diseases like typhoid and jaundice. For about three months there was a fever and sometimes the heart rate was abnormally fast. Despite this, he continued his studies and attended classes regularly.
Preparing after two years of being together
Both the brothers stayed together in Kota and prepared for coaching for two years. Sonu scored 636 marks in NEET 2026 and got admission in AIIMS Central Armed Police Forces Institute of Medical Sciences. At the same time, Monu secured 93 percentile in JEE Main and got admission in the chemical branch of BIT Mesra.
Abandonment of parents is said to be the cause of success
Sonu says that his parents have sacrificed a lot for his future. Now both brothers want to do something for family and society. Father Manoj Kumar said that due to their hard work and sacrifice, the success of the children has come. According to the Coaching Institute’s Director of Coaching, such students inspire other youngsters to go beyond their hard work.
