The examination is a way to test one individual performance and his knowledge. What kills the education is the way we learned in a wrong way. Mostly in India, we learn only to pass in the exams so that we get a job and this leads to the failure of a good education. Even the education system of a nation too involved in it as they include irrelevant topics which is not practical or which can't be used in the future. Students have inferiority in them for the exams. So they just try to remember the concept for the day of the exam and later on it evaporates from their minds.

So, finally, the present education system of our country should be changed so that students should be equipped with skills.

As we talk about today's academic examinations they are mostly full of cramping portion everyone feels him or herself intellectual but when he or she sits in a competitive exam then the particular person came to know what he or she is learnt till that day. In India, every student wants to pass a school life by cramping or by temporarily fixing a syllabus in their mind it's not thought that a 95 or above percentage holder can pass a competition by just learning a syllabus for few days but if a student is learning just only a few part of syllabus but for permanent period of time than he or she will have a better result than 90 above percentage holder.

So the conclusion is that getting knowledge is a good thing but getting knowledge with moral values is the best thing.

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.

Yes, of course. Examinations in India have spoiled India. If we take foreign nations. For example, take Iceland. There is no examination at all. And yet the country topped in the recently released most educated country list. I want to note a point that Indian education should be exam free and should be rather practical than theoretical.

According to me, the examination has not killed the students because it is a source of testing our brain that how much we have understood in our classes or lectures It is nothing to society in once got bad marks we have not lose our hopes. We should be confident in ourselves. It's all to test our brain. It's all to make our brain sharp and male ourselves strong enough to face any difficulty in our life. It helps us in jobs and various fields and most importantly helps us to communicate.

Hi guys,

I think as by scoring marks is not as important as gaining knowledge about something. Exams are not scarry it's just about to make our mind stable to attempt exam. Through exams, we can check our iq level and that how much knowledge we have got through our classes or lectures.

I think so no, because exams helps us to improve our memory power and sharps our brains. It helps us to know that how much have we were Argentine in class. Exams are not only about marks, they are all about expressing our brains memory to teacher. They hemos us to be confident too. In case of higher studies we have to give these exams. There are many countries in which exams are not held do their literacy/economy rate is low. It also checks how we can improve ourselves. And tells in which subject we need to practice more. It also tela to improve our mistakes. In some exams, like English, Hindi, we get life skill questions, in which we can express our views. Also, we develop a speed of writing day, which in future helps us a lot. So at last, I would say that exams are making strong for education.

I think we should not take stress for examination. Examination is held in every school after 6 months and finals after every year. This practice make minds stable. If we study side by side and listen to lectures nicely then their is no worry about exam. I think who kill themselves are not stable by their mind or they are not interested in the subject they choose. They should see there career a bright future ahead. So I conclude we should not take stress. And enjoy examination and revise side by side.

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.

It has not killed students because This is a practice which makes our mind stable. It also judges that how much knowledge we have gained in a particular year. Through examination, we can check our knowledge, strength. We can know our mistakes and work on it. If there would be no examination then students might not study hard. Even if we are habitual of studying just one day before of examination.
