Exams - what is the purpose?
After reading all this you will definitely ask "Nee engada padicha? idhe kuppai thaane?", i asked the same question to myself, "Yes i agree that i studied this same medium and i am one of the victims of this spoilt education system and testing methods.", i have to blame myself for not thinking the same way as i am thinking now, if i had thought i wud have chosen to study in a CBSE/ICSE school(even after 10th std.) and found a better career other than Software engineering, my parents wanted total, they didnt want knowledge so i was forced to study in a TNHSE school. When i realised all this it was too late, coz i was in my 3rd year engineering, from that point till now i understand everything i study. The reason for this transformation is some frends of mine i met in college. I mean to say that til college 2nd year naanum olunga padikkalai. Now the CBSE is also losing its stature and scoring there has also become a "Not so hard JOB". This system and the testing method definitely needs a change. It is high time parents think about what knowledge their child has received in this 14 years of schooling rather than targeting on the total, in the same time govt. also shud do something to alter the current situation of "Mark edutha podhum".....
P.S: Will continue later.

well a couple of weeks ago india today had a cover story on the lack of talented employees in our country.the fault i guess lies in our imperfect education system that converts us students into mugging machines whose sole aim is to score as much as possible in exams.

Well, my sister is giving her 12th boards right now. I agree at your point whole heartedly. What's the entire point of the exams if students know what's going to come. The whole system is to be blammed. Exams are to test the level of understanding in each subject and should not expect to reproduce is and was as it is printed in the text books. Questions become "tricky" as anonymous said only because the students are made to learn blindly what is given to them...as Paurna said mugging it is.

Anonymous - Just as I said earlier what is the point in writing the exam if you knows what's goin to come. And 20 out of 30 were tricky! Come on now whom are you kidding? If a few words have been interchanged it does not become unanswerable. My sister appeared for the same paper and I wouldn't call her extraordinarily intelligent at any given time or day and she didn't feel it was "tricky", she told me that the questions had been just put in a round about manner and she even found out all the answers to all the questions right in the "Text Book". Please do not take it as an offence. And please make sure that you understand what you study and not just mug it all up for the heck of it. Drops of Ocean, at 2:36 AM

Fair enough, the school syllabi aren't meant for learning, they seem to be more towards gaining marks..even the students are encouraged to think along the same lines. Hopefully students should be encouraged to view the subjects practically than from an exam point of view.

We have to mug for the marks as well increase our intellegence from other sources too.

I have just finished my 12th. I do agree that the entire examination System is wrong. Whenever I tried to write something extra, my teachers would say - OH IT IS NOT NECESSARY. IT IS OK IF YOU WRITE WHAT IS GIVEN IN THE BOOK. If teachers are going to limit the knowledge, then how can we devlop our IQ ?
