My exams are over , and now there is a doubt of my being 7 pointer , and it made me think that are the exams necessary to judge the performance of students ? Honestly speaking I am perplexed over this question.
There are many students who want to study in their own way(I am one among them), thus I have never understood the use of exams because you cannot judge by exams that his knowledge is less or more , a student performing well in exams does not mean that he is better than less scoring marks.
Also , it is said that Grades(marks) create differences , so there should be no examinations because our output is not the greatest when we work under pressure. Also lot of students are commiting suicides due to their failure in exams or going in mental trauma during the exam days. This is what one part of my mind says but my other part is totally of different view.
You cannot remove exams because in every field there has to be some form of evaluation criteria.Also it is then case in many students life that they study only when exams are nearer,so for them exams cant be removed.
You remove the exams and they will remove the study from their life. In each and every field , there has to be a judging criteria but not always in the form of paper.So something is there in education system that needs to be changed.
The only thing that I can suggest is that the form of exams , its aim has to be performance improvement and not judging of performance, so take exams and instead of giving the marks , try to bring out the weak and strong points of the student and this will help student a lot in his overall development.
