11-year old British-Indian twins were inducted into Mensa, the high IQ society, after scoring a combined IQ of 314.
Krish Arora achieved a Mensa score of 162 — the highest possible in a supervised IQ test session for under-18s — placing him in the top 0.26 percent of the population. Six months later, Keira Arora secured her place in the high IQ society with a score of 152 on the Cattell III B scale, putting her in the top 2 percent.

With a score of 162 — higher than the estimated IQ of Albert Einstein—Krish was reading fluently and solving decimal divisions by the age of four. In music, he progressed through four piano grades in six months and reached Grade 8 level within two years. He has since won multiple awards at music festivals and continues to perform at advanced levels.
Academically, Krish has completed Year 9-level mathematics through Mathletics, regularly receives work intended for GCSE students, and has already begun studying economics. He recently scored 100 percent in his 11-plus mathematics exam and aspires to study mathematics at Cambridge University, with the goal of becoming an actuary. He also attends robotics classes on weekends and is a keen chess player.
Keira writes poetry and fiction beyond her age level and is the lead singer in her school’s rock band. In September, she will begin private vocal training and continue attending writing workshops to hone her talents. Though musically inclined, her academic interests lie in law, and she hopes to become a commercial lawyer. Like her brother, she plays chess and maintains a disciplined academic routine.
The twins will begin Year 7 this September at two of the country’s top grammar schools — Krish at Queen Elizabeth’s School in Barnet and Keira at Tiffin Girls’ School in Kingston.
Their mother, Mauli Arora, a senior IT manager originally from Delhi, attributes their abilities to a combination of genetics and environment. Their father, Nischal Arora, an electronics engineer who moved from Mumbai to the UK 25 years ago, plays an active role in supporting their learning.
The family maintains a balanced approach to screen time — allowing only one hour per day for leisure browsing — a rule both children say helps them stay focused.
