Conundrum of deciphering the Exams..


I have always wondered how come? Why is it so? Exam have always been a bouncer to me nothing much to hide is there? Though even I have had first class distinction stamped on my marks card all the way till my engineering. I have never liked the idea of testing a person’s suitability to… coming to that what are you testing during exams? Is it your understanding of that issue, is it your memory power or is it how long a person can write? Beats my understanding. Shouldn’t these entire exams test how suitable are you to work in this present world, how a person can adapt & learn new things. Can he do a task given to efficiently & etc shouldn’t these be criteria’s for judging?

I have seen people who have hardly any understanding of the subject and they score excellent marks, and believe me they will even forget that subject as fast as they mugged that subject. So what is the whole idea about?

Many people are vehemently opposing the removal of exams for students till Xth or even XIIth. I support it completely. Just think about it. I understand it’s a competitive world but why do you people want to push that poor kid in to the Bloody muddle. This initiative gives young talent time to understand himself and choose his own path for their future. I have seen how people were taking PCM in XIIth just because other people are taking it. Sames the case with Engineering..even the latest craze of MBA blindly follow the bandwagon. Welcome to the rat race.

I support Kapil Sibal for this initiative. Just wondering why can’t we have the same in professional Courses also??
