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.

I'm Kunal, I think examinations are killing the education. By "examinations" I refer to the prevailing conditiion of exams. The exams where students are expected to mug up answers. Students, all they talk about is marks, grades but they lack curiosity about what they study.

Exams put immense pressure on the student because failure in performance would cause them consequences. The pressure of peers, career is all based on that one test.

The student doesn't get time for extracurricular activities. I think exams, along with education, are killing the student too. We need to change the exam conduct pattern. There is so much competition around the world today.

The government has reduced the standard of education by giving compulsory pass category till eighth. Nowadays almost all exams are blue print oriented in that where there is a way to judge the ability of the children. All renowned scientists were not good scorers in their exams. Learning overnight and mere vomiting isn't education. Our system has to be modified to practical applications in day to day life, not in mere writing. We are almost dead in the field of education when compared to other nations. So there is nothing more to kill again. Men turned drunkards, women turned TV meds, of course, students educated ill literates. Hats off to our government.

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, in my opinion, it has killed the students.

Evey parents and teachers wats their kids to score 90% above marks in the examination which creates pressure and it provokes the students in doing suicide.

2. It hampers the real growth of students because getting low marks in examination makes the students in self-doubt.

3. Due to not performing good in the exams it lost the interest of students in the study.

4. It persuade the students for cramming.

In my conclusion, the examination is important but it should not be the only parameter for judging the student's real ability students should leave to explore different domains and it is evaluated.

I agree education is most important in our life but I want to ask you all about current education. I think true education helps us in future. What about current education it is for future or competitive exams. I don't understand what's going on. Even in small posts just like clerk and peon government there are exams. Why?

Indian government is not believing in there own education which they are giving to us?

All degrees B.Com, M.Com, MBA, bba, BCA, MCA, MSC. It and many more are depending on competitive exams. I am not saying that we can't get jobs after this education.

We get it in private sector. But what's the meaning of this competition?

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.

No, I don't agree that examination has the education. There are lot n lots who don't study the whole semester and only study only before the exams. If there will be no examination then they will Never fell like studying. Through the Indian education system which is completely based on examination, entrance, interview etc is has produce a number of people who are now working in big MNC. More than half of the employees in silicon valley are Indians. One's the owner of Microsoft was asked why your employees are mostly from India and he responded if I stop hiring Indian employees than there would be a another Microsoft in India.

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'.

Hello friends,

Education is a formal training of the mind to develop our understanding levels and Examination is an instrument to measure our understanding. Examination helps us to rectify our weak areas and indicate us to work upon them. In Most of us exam creates anxiety to score well, but creating anxiety is not the purpose of conducting exams. It only judges our understanding level. So fault does not lie in Examination, but in our understanding about exams. So there should be additional ingredients in our education system which can teach students to go for excellence, success will come under their fate immediately.
