I am trying to plot a grouped boxplot on MATLAB but surprisingly Excel can do better!Can anyone suggest the best way to create a grouped boxplot as easy as making one for barchart?

According to what I know, yes they must have the same size. The reason is that, the boxplot helps visualizing different feature distributions of the same dataset of samples. Assume you have 100 observed animals, and for any of them you observe height, weigth. Then your data will be 100x2 matrix.
However, if you really need to explain different sized data, here is how to do it: https://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/60818-boxplot-with-vectors-of-different-lengths
