Hi, Friends.

According to my point of view, examination is important because without examination Students never studied their subject properly other not even without exams most of the students don't touch there books also so exam is very important.

Exams are not judged the student's talent but only because of exams no. Of student studied otherwise, they do not open the books.

So examination is very important to improve knowledge, and fear of exam all the student study properly.

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.

Good afternoon to all.

Personally, I think, the examination has killed the talent of a lot of students because still some students have that kind of knowledge which they expressed more freely through practicals than theory. Lots of students only getting marks than theoretical knowledge and at the time of the interview they failed because at that time your practical knowledge matters and that you can express freely because you experienced it. If exams conducted then they should focus 20% on theory and 80% on practical including viva.

Thanks.

In my opinion, exams are the best method to enhance the ability of the students and to get the best of the best extraordinary student among all.

A piece of paper can not decide your future.

In my point of view, examinations is good for testing our knowledge on topics that we learnt in colleges or schools or any other places. But, because of some external forces students feel stress and pressure in examinations.

Definitely in many aspects Examination pattern is killing the real meaning of education. We are in search of gold we are losing a diamond.

Judge a person according to his/her talent not how much he got in schools.

Thank you.

"Examination kills education".

Yes, of course. Education should be there to provide some good quality of knowledge, skills and some values of life also. But now it has become hell for students.

Parents pressure their children to score high marks and even abuse them mentally and physically which affects the child's heart deeply as a result the child may take some wrong decisions also because of the fear of getting fewer marks.

There are some situations where people think that scoring 90% in exams is fewer marks.

The schools, colleges and institutions also torture students to get 98+ marks. Because they want to make their institution one of the top one.

If a child has any talent and good knowledge in anything other than studies. No matter what that child is always considered a weak student.

The students who are toppers in maths are considered a genius.

Today's generation just wants to become a doctor/ Engineer and most of them don't want to become but because of the given to them willingly or not willingly, they have to sacrifice their dreams.

Students have become bookworms and it seems like they don't know the knowledge of books. They fear of facing society.

Students think marks are very important in life but examination has only become a memory testing capacity for them.

They only write what teachers say to read.

For parents, their prestige matters more in front of relatives than their child's happiness. They say if you study you will get a good life like successful people. But they forget that most successful people are once a failure.

I have no hate towards exams but it's a pattern. Exams should be full of enjoyment, happiness and excitement of learning new things.

We need an education pattern where a student should not be judged by his/her grades.

Thank you.

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.

Hello, friends. I am Nabakumar Bhakat.

I have already studied your concept about the topic "EXAMINATION- HAS IT KILLED EDUCATION".

I will say that examination is very essential in our life. If we can't give the exam then how a student can identify himself and how can he understand who is he or she? and also which position will belong him or her? In the first job interview the interviewer first see how many persentage he got in his or her exam. So the examination is very necessary to a person who search a job? and its also essential to increase our thought. That means what is wrong? and what is right? because practical exam can't full fill our satisfaction.

Examinations for me are something which helps us to judge ourselves, our performance. To check if we are giving our efforts in right direction. So to me, examinations are very important.

But for the point has it killed education, has two sides. As in many schools and colleges and even in many homes students are being forced to score. So in such case, it may occur that student may lose his/her focus on understanding things and knowing things practically to just scoring marks.

But when a student is given freedom to learn in what so ever way they wish to study, they are able to better explore things and examinations become an add-on to their preparation like a guide.

Nowadays parents don't give the priority to children's interests. Everyone send their children schools and collegs to become an engineer or a doctor but parents do not understand what the children Want. In India Education system is not good even though parents forced children only in education there are many other things rather than education like cricketer badminton designer animation so parents must be enquire children's interest and encourage them in that field then only he can success in his life.

I think that children just keep on mugging up their syllabus to score marks. They think that it would be a proud moment for their parents if they secure good ranks. But they do not realise that they are spoiling their future and damaging their career by doing that.
