Indeed! Examinations have killed the very purpose of education. Examinations test the memory power of a student and not his talent/interest/depth of understanding in a subject. In India, most of the schools, the length of an answer in an exam determines whether the student is "brilliant" or a "dullard". Examinations focus on the quantity and not the quality, and that is where the system is faulty.
Exams are imperfect: A mere couple of questions cannot scale the extent of knowledge.

I don't think that examination has killed.
The students are examined by the exams. Exams are to know that the student has understood the concept or not. We think that exams are killing the student as there is a lot of pressure of parents and competition among the students. So, see yourself level to give your best in the examination to score good marks in paper according to your level.
So, examination not kills the student but there is only strees to release it we should take rest.

Hi, Friends.
According to my point of view, examination is important because without examination Students never studied their subject properly other not even without exams most of the students don't touch there books also so exam is very important.
Exams are not judged the student's talent but only because of exams no. Of student studied otherwise, they do not open the books.
So examination is very important to improve knowledge, and fear of exam all the student study properly.

Hello guys,
My name is Keshav,
I read out everyone view, about the examination. I don't say that exams are not necessary for us. But guys think how will you show your talent to the world, by your mark sheet? Everyone scores good marks it's a common thing but everyone doesn't have the same talent. You can simply identify a red apple from a green apple's group. However, the exam doesn't show your talent. You can only check your knowledge through exams but you can't learn skills.

I think this is right that examination has killed education.
But in my opinion, exam is not exam they are wasting your half-life because if we go deeper we will see that some student that study not at all they start studying one day before the exam and they passed liked 70 to75 per cent or above that not the real way of the exam.
The exam should be taken by practically because it shows how kid or teenager had learnt the thing not like on paper that's wrong I think.
Thank you.

It's not the examinations that kill the education. It's the system that has brought the education to this level. Examinations are the measure of knowledge. You can only know that you are good at something unless you test it. And that tests are termed as examinations. So it's the education system that's killing the education. For example countries like Finland, their education system is completely different and obviously, they are successful and still they have examinations.

Our education system gives more focus on theory rather than practical knowledge but if you say examination kills education than its wrong because the exam is a thing by which you come to know that where you are among others but yes it is a little bit wrong when you are judged by your theory results.
Education and Examinations should a base more on practical knowledge or real world knowledge rather than only focus on books. To make students practically involved in studies.

Every person should try to gather knowledge through out his life. Because finally our experience and knowledge going to help us in different field not the the marks that we get in different exams. But everyone have to pass in exams for higher studies to gra a job. So its too important. But our education system mostly decides a person's capaility on his memorizing power not on his knowledge or his creative mind. So I too think that todays examinations has killed education.

Hello everybody,
I'm Tamilselvan. The examination system has not killed the education. ONE TIME WRITE AN EXAM IS EQUAL TO THE 10 TIMES OF READING THE SAME QUESTION. But our study method is very very poor. Just minding in our mind all and vomit on papers whatever they studied. This is not a proper study for exam. We should know the concept of our study. In real time when that is using. In my point of view, practical exams are much better than theoretical exams.

Yes, I think examination is no need to improve our knowledge because if one will score high mark by knowing to write without any grammatical mistake, another one doesn't have that much knowledge in language so he can't able to express in written form. By this, we can't conclude he is weak in education. In my point of view, he can have more knowledge than who have scored more in an examination, so, the examination will not decide our knowledge.
Thanking You.
Thanking You.
