Examination is only the measure to test our progress in our domain in which we are training. That training can be any thing like sports, studies or even art. The Examination doesn't need to be only the written test or a pen and paper test, like the image of examination is formed. Even the sports meet, art competition and other tournaments are also just the other forms of examination. So examination has not killed the education but only refined it.

Hello guys.
According to my points of view, I don't believe that exams kill education because due to exams we are able to know that how much capability is there in us. People hate exams because they are not capable to pass them and due to there weakness they blame exams and education system. So, guys we all should take exams seriously and focus on them instead of blaming them.
Thanks.

Well examinations are really necessary to assess a student's education. It is very important to know for the student where does he stand in today's competitive age. It lets us know our strength and weaknesses and also helps us to make ourself competent by assessing ourselves through regular examinations. But in India the examinations are not of the right kind. It is totally bookish knowledge based exams. Like in school days no reasoning classes are there but when we go for any competitive exam we encounter with these subjects. So education and exams should be taken in such a manner that prepare a student to face future challenges not just to score high. But having said that I would not support that examinations kill education but it is a part of education and it helps to see one's true position in cutting age competition. Thank you.

According to me, the examination is just to test our memory. But I believe that due to exams some of us at least give some interest to study something new. Which may help them to score marks. But I'm sure that a least a few of their topics they experience and utilized in their own lifes on the believe that. Yes, I know about this, since I have studied this before.

I think it is not the examination, but the pattern of assessments that has ruined our education system. Today examination are mere means of checking ones memory. But actually it should be such that it increases the creativity of the students. The assessment techniques which were used 40 years back haven't changed a bit, when the world has changed so much and we need to change with it. No wonder why we have quantity of engineers but very poor quality.

What is examination? It is a poison that is being stored in the student's mind. Marks have become the most important thing in one's life. So a student has left behind his own co-curricular activities. To my point of view, examination have changed the mind of the students. If a student does not get 80-90% marks then his whole life is changed and he idea of doing others profession in life is destroyed. So examination is not the only thing to justify a student he also has another extra talent.

It can't be says that all the examination kills the education. It is useful for to analyse ourself in particular area, but it is depends on the questions. It should test our understanding level, not only our memory capacity level.

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.

Absolutely no. Examination is a necessary thing un education by which we can measure our performance. We can determine how much we have learnt. Also we can rectify our faults and motivate to study more. If we score good in examination then it brings us confidence. Similarly, if we score less in examination then we try to boost our knowledge. Examination helps us to create a healthy competitive atmosphere. But sometimes we take too much stress to sustain this competitive atmosphere. Sometimes it creates mental pressure. So we have to balance it and motivate ourselves for achieving goals.

Hello guys.
Well, I think that examinations are a good way to check out the student's performance in school but it's not the best way to improvise your educational skills. It's just a mere way of how well a student can memorize or how hard he can work. But in today's world we just not need to work hard, instead we need to work in a smarter way and that can only be built by usage of that knowledge into practical life.
So the schools should more focus on the practical implications of education instead of making it a mere way of boredom to just memorize and top in the exams.
