Examination system is an integral part of the Education system but not the examination system which we have adopted, wherein we are just testing memory of the children(students) and killing their creativity. To evolve a healthy education system where every available talent can be nurtured, we have to divide our curriculum in such a way that every child can use their natural talent and excel in the field in which they want to go, not a standard pattern what today we have irrespective of whether child understands or not just mug-up and vomit. Learning is much beyond this marks system and let us advise to our government to get away from these old system, at least sooner is the better Board examination should be abolished once for all to make our future generation stress free and save their inherent talent.

According to me, school exams have killed students inner potential. Students mug up the whole syllable for a particular exam and after sometime they forget what they have learnt whole year. Whereas knowledge means the talent that stays with us for our whole life. Students should understand the subject and stop mugging up.

Hello friends!

From my view examination is the process to know how the students understands the topics well not only about the syllabi.

Students should convert the knowledge into practical manner then only they can invent something to the world. But also examination is the not only the thing to valuate the students skills. Board can implement other practices to evaluate the knowledge.

Hello my dear friend,

My opinion about this sensitive topic is that YES Examination has killed students. It has given lots of mental and physical pressure to us. Mental Pressure is there from two sides one is of too much and lengthy syllabus and the other from our parents. From our parents means they are thinking that getting good marks in EXAM means that we are good in studies and will be successful in future and getting bad marks in EXAM means that we are bad in studies and will be not successful in future and will not have a great career.

So, our parents force us to get good marks in EXAM anyhow. They didn't understand that by learning the basic things of the matter for lifetime and to get minimum marks is better to memorize the things for a short period of time and to omit it in the paper and to get full marks. They always run behind marks instead of giving sufficient time to their child.

And physical pressure because they think that by giving us in many tutions we can get more knowledge but we are getting the same knowledge by reading in one tuition only. And the students can't bear all this pressure.

Thank you.

My friends education means what you have learned. Actually exams are the test process to check the ability of a candidate for his gained knowledge. But we have made it division wise like first division, second division. Exam has not killed our education, but we have made it at fault. We have made it only marking status. If a candidate gets good marks for his examination is good. If failed, he may feel it is bad. To make it a good for education, we should not make it result oriented. We should make it excellence oriented. It will be good if we follow the dialogue of Three idiot movie 'Don't Go For Success Go For Excellence'.

According to me exam is platform to test our knowledge. But we considers as a race, every student wants to get more score. But in such way we are not gaining our knowledge, but we are getting temporary satisfaction.

I would like to speak on the topic that students should choose their own subjects to study rather than university which try to impose as many as they can, with this system neither university will get good results nor we, students must have idea of practical use of their education otherwise they wouldn't be able to use it, on which they spends years.

Exam is the way to test our knowledge. But why our knowledge is tested? I have knowledge. I gain it not to show everyone, I gain it to do it theoretically. Education system is totally killed by this examination. Now a days education is not about gaining knowledge its all about a race and everyone is running to touch the rope, they can not see that there 1000 miles to go to complete the race.

Thank you.

Education and Exam are two mutually parallel aspects first comes education, it is the most important thing in our life a person must get education and must focus on learning various thing in life and on practical knowledge Rather then scoring in exams or doing race for good grades.

It doesn't matters that you got good grades or not matters only what good qualities and experiences you have and how to overcome from the worst situation.

Practical knowledge matters a lot rather than good grades.

Exams are the means of education through which one can improve one's educational qualifications step by step. But I think today exams are not as much important. Because getting job nowadays is talent based but not merit based.

The main aim of our educational system is to earn money and knowledge. It is the worldly knowledge and experience in life that gives us knowledge. The pattern of exams are corrupted now a days because many universities are offering Malpractices. Like this we can only get a degree which is not useful and that type of candidates are filtered in off campus interviews. Through education we should get knowledge and there is no end to this knowledge. The knowledge we gained should improve our mannerism. And good manners are the sowing seeds of good character. Today many gems of extraordinary intelligence are misusing their knowledge.

Our examination pattern should be not of bi-heart type it should give us some practical knowledge in our life. Exams are not the end of learning and gaining knowledge. The exams are threatening today youth because of threatenings of their parents and society. If one develops a positive attitude and take the exams as challenge he becomes a great person. The competition between the youth should be a healthy one. If it is not healthy there is a chance of collapsing. Exams are necessary remark our knowledge that we have gained in the academic year. But so many people who are not educated are serving as great persons not only in India but also in foreign. So it is not the academic achievement that enhances a persons knowledge but it is the worldly knowledge and experience in his life.
