The examination is a basic thing which should always available. If we put deep insight in our education, course is designed such way that will produce worker. This is a scent of british traces on our education system and examination too.

Eg, a stone age man want to teach his son about procedure to make wheel. His desire is to make his learn intuitively so he can bring advancement.

That's how technology have been brought over period of human evolution. Examination should focus on intuitions, how well student can utilize his concepts. Most of student prepare themselves for exam, not for subject. Therefore, exam should be designed such way that it will motivate student to take deep insight un subject.

Yes, Examinations has killed the education, because if we talk about the present scenario, students are being sent to school forcibly by their parents so that they could pass the examinations as their expectations and could get a job to secure their future. In all this, they are lacking the knowledge. Students are learning which matters the examinations only. For instance: there are many of my relatives and neighbors, they frankly say that somehow their child could get a job, and their work has been done.

There might be a solution according to me after teaching some compulsory subjects till their primary grades (till class 5th), they should be allowed only one subject to be focused and should be asked to take the examination of the same subject. They should not be forced for the exams of another subject. In this way, a student will select a subject of his choice and will give his 100% to that subject surely.

Hi guys,

I think exams should not be the only criteria to judge a person talent may be he/she is good in another field. Students purely focus on mugging rather than learning because of this examination system and all of we know learning is more important than mugging. We should change our education system, where practical knowledge should get higher priority than theoretical knowledge. A little bit theoretical knowledge is also important.

Hello.

My point of view is that, exam are not necessary till higher education. Because those who want study will study but in researchical wayand those who not want to study will get there basic education and they will show talent on aother field. It will also remove the nervous breakdown of student in early ages.

Exams are accountability and Accountability breeds responsibility. People should become responsible fo seek knowledge and understanding due to fear of exams. But at the same time, teachers and parents should also create an environment and culture of affirming the potential of students that they come to see in themselves, they should recognise the interest of students in particular subject and encourage them to go into deep. And lastly, be a help for them whenever needed but don't pressurise them to get numbers. Because student are in need of unconditional love and empathy.

Hello friends,

Education is a formal training of the mind to develop our understanding levels and Examination is an instrument to measure our understanding. Examination helps us to rectify our weak areas and indicate us to work upon them. In Most of us exam creates anxiety to score well, but creating anxiety is not the purpose of conducting exams. It only judges our understanding level. So fault does not lie in Examination, but in our understanding about exams. So there should be additional ingredients in our education system which can teach students to go for excellence, success will come under their fate immediately.

Well, according to my view, examinations are the basic need for judging yourself that how knowledge that gained to you. Also, the examination will improve our skill to reading and hardworking. Without examination, their is nothing parameter on the basis of which we send to this student to next stage. So I think its a basic need.

Yes, exams are necessary for students to know that where they lie in the competition. But nowadays exams are just marks oriented and a student having more memory has got higher marks which lead to just mugging up the things.

The practical knowledge is not acquired by students. So exams are necessary but that must be taken in a practical way.

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.

No, examination hasn't killed education as it judges a student knowledge and his qualities of doing the accurate answer within a specific time period.
