Examinations - has it killed education

Actually no. Because it mainly depends on how an individual prepares and presents himself/herself for and/or for an exam. Mainly people study to pass the exams. The same people if talks any think about knowledge. One has read rather trying to remember what he/she reads.

Hi, friends. I am Rohit.

It is true that education is killing the inspirations of those students who are interested in learning what they want to learn and the competitive exam system has crushed they're dreamed and make them a thing which only feeds those words written in those books without any desire to do so.

It is very bad as in the childhood of man (when he is in 11 or 12 standard) , time when he sees the world in his way this dirty system make him know what it wants them to copy in their heads and later on make most of them it's servant and apply for labour job instead and don't let him rise high on its own.

So, friends, it's important that in this ugly system that we emphasize on learning more & not on just copying things in your mind.

Like Albert Einstein never liked this system, he was against this and left the school and the competitive system and started living and learning in His own way and believed that no one is less than anyone but everyone is unique in his own way.

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!

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.

Hello, myself Aruneshkumar.

I am sure to agree that examination has killed education. In present days the students have a much lengthy syllabus. And every student wants to prove them in the exam. So they used to route learning. Cause of lengthy syllabus they can not cover it properly by practically.

So they have not practically experience in any sub. They make as bookworms.

In other countries like America, they give practical knowledge.

So, l believe, practically knowledge is more than theoretical knowledge.

Good morning to all, myself Pawan Mahwar.

I have read views of all my friend. Most of the views were on against the examination. My supporting points towards examination are:.

First of all, how will you determine the capability of the student? For this, you will have to take part in exams like oral examination, written examination & practical examination. If you are selected for an interview. For that interview, you have shown that you are capable for this job. If you take an interview, he asks what is the favourite subject. Then he asks only that things.

And examination takes only 7-10 day per semester. It doesn't mean that you don't have time for your creativity, your sports. You can also see a student having the good pointer, he shows good performance in all things. Whatever he does.

As our friends said, a theoretical knowledge is not necessary. It is just a memory. Sir if you are doing practically. You can't understand, what is happening why it is happening.

In engineering college, if you do the project in any branch. Professor will definitely say that first, you do literature survey, then you start. Prof may also take an oral exam, ppt on that literature survey what you have done for the project. This exam will show your capabilities.

So finally, I conclude my opinion. An examination is not a devil. It is just a criteria to check your capabilities.

Of Course, exams are spoiling our education. Education should be built step by step. It should not be pushed. Talent and knowledge keep our life to move forward. I like to give you one example: In Higher, secondary everyone forced to get top marks but now we can't found that person, who got the first mark and just for others satisfaction. We can found some persons who discontinue their current studies and moving again to their interest ones. Like that Making waste of time in examinations. We can plan some interesting in their studies not to be a bookworm. We can provide practicals in every study. Which help them life long to remember their studies.

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.

HELLO EVERYONE,

I am in fewer of the examination system.

As some of my friends have discussed the negative aspects of exams, I don't completely deny this thing but I would like to highlight some points which show the importance of examinations.

The situation about which many of the guys are talking is the ideal one according to which each and every student is fond of studies and curious about learning new things. But if see the reality then we can understand that around 80-85% of the students of todays generation do not study before exams, now if we think about them then it seems that they would not study anything if exams will not be there and what will be their future then.

So we can say that exams are the most important tool that helps in maintaining an appropriate level of knowledge among the students.

At last, I would like to say that examinations also includes practicals, viva voice, and other internal assessments in order to the practical knowledge of the students.

Thanks!

Examinations are necessary to evaluate the performance of a student. That is why Indian universities have made it to the list of world's top 100 engineering institutes. There is no criterion other than exams which can rate the performance of a student. If there are no exams, then no one will bother to study and on what basis can they be given admit to the universities.
