Examinations - has it killed education

Well in my opinion, examination system in India is definitely killing education.
even if you don't have practical knowledge of any subject, but If you are good in cramming all the theory then you are considered to be a winner here.
 
yes exams have ruined the practical aspect of the curriculum to a certain extent... we need to understand the applicability of all the subjects we learn.
 
well it all depends on perspective of exams.e.g . JEE exam is appropriate as it aims to find right talent for premier institutes
 
Exams have become a hurdle for the students to cross, completely dissolving the purpose of education.

Education as a means to deliver a purpose to life is lost.
 
if da examz r based on concepts n practical impication ov concepts then it gives new direction to education and learning bt wen it cums to cramming....the doors fr education shut at dat point...
 
I think that some exams are necessary, but I think more emphasis should be put on practical projects to show that we can put into practice the stuff we have learnt.
 
Yes thats true..our whole education system should be changed inorder to make the people get knowledge rather than swallow and byheart some stuffs.

main emphasis of both student & teacher is on how to get maximum marks in Exam; not getting the real learning of the subject.

I so agree with this.
I've been struggling with the examination thing for long. You apply, you understand things better. The problem with the written examination is that it is just reproduction of things you study a few days before the actual exam (In most cases it is overnight).
Although the theory part is necessary, the application part is more important.
For example, we had a guest teacher for LEB (Legal Environment of Business). The teacher was so brilliant, he taught us the basic principles of law, and how or what is the basis for its existence. Then in tests and exams, he gave us small cases and we had to apply the concept of the laws to give a verdict on cases. This gave us good analyzing power, and converted an otherwise boring subject into something analytical and fun at the same time.
But what most teachers do is, because they are lazy, and do not feel like going through all this, they pick up the last 5 year papers or go through text books to find theoretical questions. Student with the highest ability to reproduce the stuff gets greatest marks. AND THAT IS THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THEIR STUDIES!

God this needs to be reformed in my opinion!!
 
In my opinion exam is must.exam is to test our knoledge.We should not take it as a burden because many students try to attempt suicide due to lots of presure of exam.But This is not due to presure of exams infact It is our mentality that we think only to pass the exam.But our aim should to gain knoledge not to earn marks in exam and if all the students have such thinking than definetly they don't have any fear about exam.atlast examination should done any how.
 
I don't agree with this point, as a student exams is the only reason we study and that is the sole purpose. Unless and until we are not bound with pressure, we won't study. Exams widen our thinking ability and reasoning power only for those student who understand the concept and not for those who mug up. Examination is good way to keep control.
