Hi Mrunal,
What is the minimum passing marks in Compulsory/English language papers?
Thanks
Sagar
Pls can i know approx how many students wrote marathi compulsory paper and tamil and Hindi Compulsory paper .. is the figure 96 correct in case of marathi bcoz it defies all statistical rationalising. eg As far as my info goes Tamil and marathi candidates are approx about the same number. then how only 1 candidate fails in Tamil and 96 fail in marathi… do u have any data regarding the latest 2011 exam ….. i have been a victim of these as i was failed in my marathi compulsory paper in my 3rd attempt eventhough i had cruised past it in my previous 2 attempts…..Awaiting ur reply soon
Sir i know English, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi to speak fluently, but to write a paper i am not well worse in the indian languages. Because my mother tongue is Tamil and my native is Bangalore so i know Kannada and i studied in CBSE where i got 65% in Hindi. Sir i am confused what to take, PLEASE help me
