Examinations - has it killed education

According to my opinion, students must have the full independence to prove their talent. But unfortunately, our education system puts bound on that. Our education system has become the only measure of testing the memory power of students. Taking the example of two students one who is good at cramming and the one who is not, the one having more cramping power will get a good score but the other who is not good at cramming but has a lot of practical knowledge will be left behind and can't score well. So our examination system is not an effective way of testing our abilities but rather an indicator of our memory power.

Hi friends this is Samyuktha.

In my point of view, examinations are the one which influences the students to get run with the competitive world.

They can gain the spirit at the time of examination. They can express their knowledge through these exams.

The main disadvantage of these exams we can lose our knowledge.

Some people who are sensitive while getting low marks will get into depressions.

The lecturers who are evaluating the papers they don't see the knowledge of the students.

So, I conclude that examinations are the one who gets interested in studying the subjects by gaining marks to the student's life.

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?

In support of the following points, I believe the method by which an exam is conducted has downgraded the value of the subjects taught to us. It's just a practice of memorizing and vomiting the content in answer paper which gets evaporated immediately.

Of course, our curriculum needs major improvements, but the basic knowledge shouldn't be ignored at any cost. That's a different discussion altogether.

What I would suggest is that schools should give all the necessary tools required to solve a problem given in an exam and let the students deduce the solution by applying their knowledge gained during lectures.

According to my point of view,

Now-a-days, wherever we see there is a lot of competition in every field. If we take an example of an MBA entrance exam, there are 80, 000 candidates and seats were only 40, 000. So, if there is no examination then how we conduct that seats to students. Without examination students were no more to interested in studies. Some students are there who learn for the knowledge, and those who does not atleast they learn it from the fear of the examination. Education is the first need to live a wealthy life in future. So, examination has not killed the education in my point of view.

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.

Examinations are not the only way to judge the student's talent. But, in today's life, they will judge the student's talent only on the basis of the scores got by the student.

The faculty shows extra interest on those who is topped in the exams. So, there is no other way for the student rather than to mug up and vomit in the exams. So. That they should not get any criticism in front of others. We cannot judge the capability of a student based on his marks. If we conduct the examinations in a healthy manner I mean not by mugging based upon his understanding. This will be helpful for the student life long.

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.

Education is that knowledge which a person remembers for years not for a night instead surprise exams test the knowledge. A paper should be on an objective basis that is questions should be expressed in a practical manner. For eg "there are two types of human activity one is economic other is non-economic, the question can be asked in two ways either they would simply ask the definition our provide a situation like "a woman \'b\' is cooking for her family" classify its any of the human activity. So examination should be held in the second way (where it tests the knowledge as well as skills).

Education and Exams are really not helping anyone discover their potential.

Eg: Suppose I am a research-oriented person, now why will I learn 100 's of topics to qualify for research if I can dedicate my life to just one topic in which I want to research.

The same goes for many other works like I love music, but you don't have schools for music until you realise you can learn on your own if it's really for you. I mean education has killed so many students, many gone insane, but it has not made us good human beings. Now, real education is Nature, Life, Music, Arts, Social Interactions etc.
