Good afternoon to all.

Personally, I think, the examination has killed the talent of a lot of students because still some students have that kind of knowledge which they expressed more freely through practicals than theory. Lots of students only getting marks than theoretical knowledge and at the time of the interview they failed because at that time your practical knowledge matters and that you can express freely because you experienced it. If exams conducted then they should focus 20% on theory and 80% on practical including viva.

Thanks.

No, not at all, actually, what I think if there are no exams, there will be no evaluation of the performance and ultimately no scope or less scope for development. These are just the excuses that examination is killing the education because if someone is well understood with what he has studied, he will not face any difficulty in writing the same in exams and can also apply the same during practical and that will surely help in well performing along with well understanding. Better take interest in learning and should stop cursing EXAMS.

Hi, I am Yash Matalia.

According to my point of view, Examination is nothing but, check the mental ability of the students in under stressful condition. Without examination, How we can check the ability of students? so, the examination is the best way to check the ability of students. Examinations can develop the mind of student & enhance his ability. The result is depending on our hard-work. If a student will hard work then he will have a good result. So, the examination has not killed education but enhance our ability.

Yes, I think the Indian examination system has killed the education system. In present the system everyone is more concerned about are marks. Students focus on things which fetch them marks, teachers focus on teaching what will probably come in exam. From an early age, students are compared by teachers and parents on basis of marks which creates a kind of tension among the low performing students, however, they can be good in some other areas, which they should try to discover and try to excel in that particular field.

Hello everyone good evening,

Let me talk about education, nowadays to live in this world, to communicate with others, business activities, to get the job etc we need education. Examination is just a platform to show the world that we are educated, without examination we can't judge our knowledge and nobody can read our mind that we are educated. So, on my point of view examination never kills education, but it teach us to give an example that how can we survive in this world, how we can face the problems.

Thank you.

Hello, myself Aruneshkumar.

I am sure to agree that examination has killed education. In present days the students have a much lengthy syllabus. And every student wants to prove them in the exam. So they used to route learning. Cause of lengthy syllabus they can not cover it properly by practically.

So they have not practically experience in any sub. They make as bookworms.

In other countries like America, they give practical knowledge.

So, l believe, practically knowledge is more than theoretical knowledge.

I think, it doesn't make sense that exams kill creativity or exam result in talented outcome. CREATIVITY is far more important than CAPABILITY. So just the simple logic is that the way, in which the questions are asked must be changed. The topics like aptitude and reasoning must be included in every national level examination irrespective of the department or profession. By this we can extract the people who not just only are capable of studying a large content, but also can tackle with different situations.

Good evening to everyone.

I think examination kills our education system because some students are committed to suicide. They have a practical knowledge to do new things but they don't have a capacity to memorise and to vomit in the examination so they have failed and they treated as a weak student so staffs are treated those students does not haven knowledge but they have a practical knowledge so I think practical examination is better than the theoretical examination.

Thanks for giving this opportunity.

Hello Friends,

Examination and Knowledge are two most important aspect of student life.

But according to present situation examination are not only building pressure & stress on the student life and also kill their creativity power.

Examination should be knowledge oriented not marks and grade oriented. Education should also have it's prime focus on employment not on the reputation of the institutions and university.

So overall our examination patter should reform or review. It is need of hour.

Good evening to everyone, examination is the important part to check that whether the student is learning something new or not we can't say that examination killed the education rather than this we can say that examination pattern is not that much good that it should be. Yes I am agree that we can't judge anyone in 3 hrs but we can understand the knowledge level of the person, so examination is important but yes examination method can be change.

We can make it more practical rather than theroretical.
