Actually, it's true fact that examination has killed the education because the thinking of our parents is that "if my child studies better so he can get a better job in the future" but it's really happened? NO. Are you know what is the problem of our society, they think that if our child could not secure his future so "WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY" that's the reason that students cannot show their skills in any other profession.

Hi! I am Rupanjana Saha from India. I think exam gives us a lot of pressure and nowadays, the students who read in class 6 are reading about class 8 studies and thus creating a pressure. We can improve this system by reporting this to the to the head of the system!

The examination deals with the only theory part. That's why most of the students are concentrate on the book part. That time the practical approach of the subject is missing by the students.

So, In the industry level practical point are useful so examination is really killed the education.

The examination is not better than practical.

I really don't think examinations have killed education.

Examinations are the best way to test a student's capabilities in presence of pressure and it prepares them for the future.

The only thing that tends me to go for this topic is that how students take examinations-.

- Students often get too much depressed about their exams.

- Usually, parents judge their child's capabilities on the basis of their exam results.

- The 3-hour examination and 100 marks question paper often inculcate the concept of rote learning in students.

I believe examinations are good for students but the fear students have created in their minds regarding examinations really saddens.

Examinations are the most fun way to test your capability building, not your knowledge. Friends think it practically how can you be asked to pen down the whole.

The thing you studied in a year in just 3 or 4 hours? And your judge yourself on the basis of that.

Well, I don't think so it has killed education. Taking my example I usually study before exams which are a great way to keep up our learnings and it acts as a revision in our mind. So examinations are a must in the education system. Apart from this examinations plays a crucial role in getting into the corporate world or entering into a new college. Examinations serve the foundation for the competition which makes person strive for achievement.

Hi friends, listen guys without exams nothing will prove. That how much the candidate or student have the knowledge or capabilities in themselves. According to me, examination isn't killed education. It depends on the particular student. Our education system wants to introduce the students with their facts that how much knowledge you have or what type of changes you need. If there are no exams in our whole academic year then no one will take the education perfectly. People avoid learning new things. Yeah, the point can consider that if you select the subject in which you haven't any interest. Then you never try to learn it & in your all the academic year you west your life's important time. And I agreed with the point also that the practical knowledge should be introduced in syllabus. So the students didn't get bored with theoretical knowledge. And try to understand the topic perfectly. That's all.

Exam is like a necessary evil.

In addition, I wanna say that digital study must be implemented in schools. So students could easily visualise the concepts.

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.

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.

From my perspective, I think that examinations must be continued with education system. It checks our ability to apply concepts and knowledge to the problem being asked. It checks our ability to perform in a difficult situation as well.
