According to Pauli Exclusion Principle, no two electron can occupy a given quantum state. This means that each electron has its unique set of quantum number. This is not only apply to electron but also to the other fermions like neutrons and protons.
An orbital can hold 0, 1 or 2 electrons only. If there are 2 electrons in an orbital, they must move in opposite spin. Therefore, no two electrons can occupy the same set of four quantum number.

THis is incorrect as there must be in opposite direction.
This is correct as  the electrons move in opposite spin.
