    Default "What standard" or "which standard"

    Teacher: What standard are you in?
    Student: I am in standard 4th.
    Today I taught this my students, but one of English teachers told me that, "Which standard are you in" is the correct. Totally, I am confused.
    Which one is correct?
    Thank you.

    Both are correct. I prefer "which" in this case.
