Good Morning Friends,

Obviously, because exams are only for testing the student. But in this generation only focus about exams. If they are ready to get a good knowledge, They are study in their own way and get a knowledge for their interest. Exam is only for high marks score in examinations. It is not good for their knowledge. It cannot give any knowledge for the students. They are getting fear and stress in their studies. They are having a main problem that is exam. Definitely, exams will helpful for testing their knowledge but exams cannot make a knowledgeable student.

Thank You.

Examinations kill the education because there are many instances where students committed suicide just because they got fewer marks in examinations. The examination is nothing but stress and pressures these days.

Nowadays the situation changed like, students are given marks for just reading and memorising but not for their actual capability.

According to me, an examination hasn't killed the student because this is the way to test ourself that what we had to learn in the whole year. Andwe know that what we have to do for improvement.

And, Yes the examination of our country have to change because of the system more students only focused on there but not on their knowledge.

Thank you.

Hi everyone.

My views on examinations have killed education or not are given below.

First of all, I want to say that examination is the best way to check the student knows what he/she grasp in month or year. It checks the capability of a student. But on the other hand, it has a much worse impact on student's carrier because student only studies limited subjects to get passing marks in exams. They study because of fair of failing not to learn something. Students also have not much time to learn some new things for enhancing their skills. So in our country, the Education minister have to need to do some changes in our education system which helps us to achieve our dreams.

Thank you.

According to me, Examination has not killed education, as exams are only the means to test the knowledge and capability of the students. Examination is a mean where students prepare themselves accurately. Its helps Students to face Success and failure since childhood. Its strengthen them mentality to face the future. But I, Like to say that, Theoretical Knowledge is given more time and importance than practical. This is one of the reasons that peoples are not getting a job, as there is a lack of practical knowledge to work in the real world. And moreover, students are judged over one parameter.

Thank you.

According to me, not an examination but the examination system is killing the education.

1. Parents are pressuring there children to compete with other which create stress, pressure on students.

2. Most of the school, colleges do not take interest in the practical exam they fulfil minimum requirements of the practical exam. And give more pressure on the theoretical exam which gives negative feedbacks about the practical exam to the student.

3. Every student has some special character or talent but they are judged by the same parameter.

4. Marks are getting more value in companies than practical knowledge which brings low confidence in fresher.

5. You can take the example of IIT exam there are total 10000 seats but for that, around 1500000 students give exam means if you see the ratio of the student then out of 100 only 0.6 students get selected. So what about the others? It is in our hand to change this system.

Well, we are at such an educational system, in which different mentality students are given the same question paper. Some are good at that but few may be good at something else. So we should keep exam on their respective interest and encourage them towards their interest, don't discourage people by keeping the same test to all kinds of people. If they study by their interest, then in India we may many noble prize winners every year.

So, the examination is a crucial part of Student that he/she may score low or high, just encourage them. So they will enjoy the flavour of examination.

Thank you.

Yes, the examinations has killed education because students learn or cram up subjects just in order to score marks but in terms of practical knowledge students do not learn anything which results in many students not getting jobs because of no practical knowledge to work in the real world, and even once the exams are over the students tend to forget everything they had studied because they had not applied those concepts in the real world ever.

In my opinion, examinations are not killing the education system. They are conducted to test our knowledge levels and we shouldn't take it as a pressure or stress and his qualities of doing the accurate answer within a specific time period.

Thank you.
