Examinations - has it killed education

Hi everyone.

I don't think examination has killed our education. But the examination system that we are following kills education. Because it is all about getting marks and it doesn't check whether the student is really worth of it or not. In the present scenario, theoretical exams are given more importance than practicals. We should give more weight to the practical exams rather than theoretical ones. Only then students can worthfully utilise their studies.

As we all know India is a developing nation, that is developing each and every section. So why don't we think to develop our present examination system?

Examination are essential to promote one to work regularly and responsibly, it is needed to keep someone on track of working out things better yet we have also seen that these a time either the parents are giving lot a pressure to their child to retain a good position in this competitive world which may sometimes be depressive or child is taking itself as pressure which comes out as a suicidal and harming events, what I think is a matter of concern.

No, examination hasn't killed education as it judges a student knowledge and his qualities of doing the accurate answer within a specific time period.

Yes, examination kills the education because examination is all about marks. Parents pressurized their child to got 1st rank. So students are not learning any things they are only read and memorized it.

The examination is the right way to secure the knowledge of the students.

In my point of view, the correction of examination is wrong.

In Anna University, the teachers who are evaluating the paper has given the limited time for the 2 minutes with the key points necessary for the given question. They are evaluating in means of the pages of the paper for the given marks and not by considering the contents. If the side heading is correct they are not reading the lines given under the side heading. They are simply seeing the pages and evaluating the points.

No grammatic errors are found in the contents.

In my point of view, the time for evaluating the answer paper can be increased according to the subjects.

In this way, the examination has killed the education.

For the other case depending upon the marks the students feature depends on so the process of evaluating the paper might be correct and it seems the knowledge person can be graduated.

Hello, friends, I'm Mayank.

In My opinion, Examination is compulsory to evaluate the students. Some myths are there about Examination ie they are only for burden, marks hinder talent or more. These myths are false and need to cleared by the teachers.

Examination checks the amount of knowledge gained by the students during the particular course.

Hello everyone,

My name is Shikhar Keserwani and according to me, the examination is the best way of testing your knowledge within a limited time and exploring your skills and in this way, we never kill anyone knowledge but increased the knowledge of our own and test our skills.

Thank you.

Hello everyone good evening,

Let me talk about education, nowadays to live in this world, to communicate with others, business activities, to get the job etc we need education. Examination is just a platform to show the world that we are educated, without examination we can't judge our knowledge and nobody can read our mind that we are educated. So, on my point of view examination never kills education, but it teach us to give an example that how can we survive in this world, how we can face the problems.

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

I would like to initiate by saying a few points about the topic assigned to us. Education is one thing everyone should have. It instill The thinking abilities about the course which he or she is studying and practically. But if we see now a days a student has to go through number of exams from kg to pg. That's not how an education system should be. Exams are curbing the thinking abilities of students which is the primary objective of education. What most of the students are doing is they won't listen to the class what The faculty is teaching, just a month or two before they will go through the books and will clear the exam. This type of education is a waste of one's time and money. The Major cause for unemployment in India is this type of examination based education. Even parents are also just focusing on their child marks instead of what The child is learning by going to school. I am not saying that there shouldn't be any exams but exams should be conducted in such a way that tets The student thinking abilities. I would like to conclude the topic by saying that college should take initiative to eliminate this type of education.

Instead of approaching examinations as a medium to test a person's proficiency in a particular subject, they are viewed as a medium of judging one's abilities. The way students are Under the compulsion to write as exact as what is given in the text shows the misconception of examinations by the state board schools and often students find this way of approach as a difficult task and automatically they tend to develop a fear for examinations. Not just the way of conducting exams but also the way students are spoon fed by the teachers and the method of evaluation using the key set by a group of teachers are definitely not helpful. A unique approach to examination by schools will definitely raise the standard of students and thus I would conclude by saying that examinations conducted in a better way never kills education.
