My point of view education is best for person. But that does not mean if some one will get maximum marks, we can not say. He is educated. Some of the student are mugging up notes/books and write in exam, he will get maximum marks. Those students are struggling in company group discussion and some of the entrance examination like net, get first you understand your concept.
Some of the topics are practically very good to understand. Those things we have to do in a particular way. Examination questions should be conceptual not theoretical. That suggestion will arrive a person in particular platform. Lastly I want to say manner is very important thing for a person.

According to me, Exam is a good way to check the capacity of any student but if somebody thinks, students wrote their subjects then we can change their way of exam like practical exam, etc.

Consider the situation, your one semester has ended and there is no such an exam like thing. What will happen now? How can one evaluate what you have studied in that semester? There are 2 ways either he evaluate you on basis of your practical knowledge in that subject or he may ask you orally. Both of these ways are not effective. Because all subjects can not be implemented practically and orally. If you are going to be enrolled in any job, how will you show your skills at that time? Practically or orally! I An electric technician has equivalent practical knowledge than an Engineer. So is he different?How to make difference. There should be exams that show how well you know your subjects and stream.

Current education system is killing educational values. Examinations are conducted to test ones memorizing and writing skills of what we have learnt from the classes taken by the teachers. It does not.

Hello.
I do not totally agree because examinations are one of the ways that help us to judge our knowledge. As per my concern, I think exams are compulsory till 5-6 class that help a student to judge themselves and even they get how they have to study but as in upcoming classes there should be more important to have a practical knowledge and at that stage exams are compulsory but the format should have been Changed. Exams are also held in some practical ways that definitely help our students to growth their knowledge and talent and it is one of the best steps for the development of our country.
Because as we all know in our country students have genius minds but the implementation is not properly done because of the faulty education system. If it improves then our unemployment issue also overcome at some extend.
Thank you.

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.

In my point of view, education means it is applicable to learning the concepts in a practical manner not to write in papers. I give an example if you want to make a rocket we must have awareness about the ingredients and its working properties then only you can be able to make a rocket but the thing is happening in India learn and write in exams that exams do not shine your mind to create new innovations. So please stop this exam-centric method and give the ability to the students through creative and innovative manner. The advantages of practical learning is the concept is fixed in your mind and the disadvantages of theory learning and put it in exams is the lines of the answers are stored in your mind like 2 tuple Xerox copy. So I request the government to change our education system and rebuilt it well and destroy private schools and colleges as for as possible they don't run education they business with education by torturing the student to get more marks it didn't benefit to a student it only benefits to management to get more admissions for next year. I have a dream to see our country with pure education. -Jaihind.

Good evening.
According to me, it is very easy to understand that you cannot ignore examination because it shows you where you are? For proper measurement examination is very need full.
It's not happen in academic life only but also in real life. What mistake have done in past examinations learn from it measure, and move ahead with proper improvement.
But I want to highlight on thing that examination like academics is stopping student grow.

Examinations are the way to judge the students that how much knowledge they have gained during a certain period of time. Students can check their strengths and weaknesses and work on it.
I partially agree with the topic because in one hand examinations judge our knowledge and reflect it. But on the other hand it reinforces us to study. If there is no examination students may not study hard. Even we are habitual of working hard only before 1 day of examinations. To some extent examinations are the reason that students study just to top in the class or to pass the exam.
Finally, I would like to say that we should understand the motive of examinations. We should study just to be knowledgable; exams will be passed/cracked in no time.

The examination is the right way to secure the knowledge of the students.
In my point of view, the correction of examination is wrong.
In Anna University, the teachers who are evaluating the paper has given the limited time for the 2 minutes with the key points necessary for the given question. They are evaluating in means of the pages of the paper for the given marks and not by considering the contents. If the side heading is correct they are not reading the lines given under the side heading. They are simply seeing the pages and evaluating the points.
No grammatic errors are found in the contents.
In my point of view, the time for evaluating the answer paper can be increased according to the subjects.
In this way, the examination has killed the education.
For the other case depending upon the marks the students feature depends on so the process of evaluating the paper might be correct and it seems the knowledge person can be graduated.
