When asked that 41 students in a row were failed in English subject, he said, "there is nothing wrong in it, basically there are three types of questions in English Paper, one mathematical nature like grammar, definitions, fill in the blanks, if students attempt all one marks question, they will get all marks.
He said, in the second part there are descriptive type questions (long and short answer type questions) like letter writing, essays. Maximum students have attempted objective type where as they have not done any descriptive questions.
"We have to respect re-evaluation let the independent experts work on it and, at least the result of re-evaluation will come after one to two months", controller added.
