Major Flaws in Indian Schools Examination System

Sept. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Education system is the backbone of a progressing our society. It is the standard of education that determines an individual’s and our country’s progress. A typical educational system consists of Primary Schools, High Schools, Colleges and Universities. It is important to provide quality education at all levels in order to have sustainable growth and development.
In an examination-oriented education system, there is a chance that the joy of being a young kid will not be able to be enjoyed fully by the young generation. Although it may take a bit of a joy out of a student, it may be worth the sacrifices.
The present education system in Schools conduct Internal Exams up to Class 9 and Schools can have internal grading. In majority of the Schools, internal exams are conducted based on the syllabus completed up to that point and a series of question and answers are given under the revision work for the preparation of exams. This makes Students not to have a comprehensive concept on the subject, leaving no focus on thinking skills development.  
With proper guidance, students and teachers can both gain huge benefit from the External Examination System which are conducted by the third parties such as Indian based Exams NTSE, and Olympiad as well as international based Exams Global Wiz, USA. Though all these exams including Global Wiz exams focus on CBSE, ICSE and State Curriculum, there is a big difference between Indian based Exams and International Exams. Through International Exams, Students develop Thinking and Creative Skills.
The existence of Globalization is widely spread in India now. Multinational companies are entering India or our Students who complete B.Tech and other degrees go abroad for further education. Global Wiz certificates are recognized globally and it helps students to make their further education transition smooth, to get scholarships, or tuition waiver in further education.  
Raghu Vullaganti, Director of Global Wiz Exams says “Educational institutes make job-seekers, and not job creators. They should create entrepreneurs”. Proper selection and implementation of “external examination with international format” oriented education will benefit the students, teachers and even the parents. The clear direction in such examination system helps everyone to focus on a specific target. With this, it will promote collaboration between all the parties, making it as a collective effort.
Since the end goal is to excel during the examination, this will give a sense of direction for both Students and Schools. Students will be more focused in their studies and this will make teaching easier for the educators.
An examination is an official test of knowledge. Mr. Raghu Vullaganti says: “Cible Technologies has the franchise rights to conduct USA based Global Wiz Exams - Global Math Test and Global Science Test in entire India for classes from 3rd to 10th. These exams are assessments intended to measure a test – takers knowledge, Analytical skills, Theory based approach, and classification in many other topics”. He adds the reporting system and the exam pattern help Schools and Students to emphasize and enhance their subject strengths and to make them ready for the 10th Class public exam.  
Advantages of Global Wiz Exams - Firstly, a person will be able to know his performance. Exams encourage the performance of student. For instance if a person score low grade, it encourage him to work hard in order to score high grade. And also it encourages people to work and learn, creates competition, and develops ones personality and confidence.
Secondly, exam is a way to know how well you understood the topics learnt.
Learning is 2-way traffic. Whatever you learn in class, you need to apply. And examination is one way to determine how well learning has taken place - is through your answers. Additionally, you can see just how much progress a student has made. Means you can judge the progress of many students at once. For example, teachers can see if any subject should be re-taught or explained differently.
Sri Dr. Ramprasad, Advisor of Global Wiz Exams Committee says “India’s examination system is faulty. Thus the fundamental flaw in the examination system in India is that it creates students with mugging minds instead of questioning minds”. The whole point of studying is gaining knowledge. In a situation where knowledge is available without any need to learn them by heart, students are bound to take it for granted. Global wiz exams support post exam solutions to the schools and students to strengthen their knowledge in weak subject areas therefore, appreciate the learning process and knowledge more.
