An official told the newspaper that instead of bilingual question papers in English and Tamil as prescribed by CBSE, these 100 students in four examination halls from Madurai based school were given question papers in English and Hindi.
"These students had opted for Tamil question paper and hence the students could not take up the examination," the official told The Hindu.
