Examination Oriented Education System In India- Is It The Right Way, Success in Examinations- is it by Luck or by Chance

Education system in India is entirely examination oriented. Depth and vastness of knowledge is solely determined by the numbers one candidate is getting in an examination. One has to deliver whatever his/her preparation is within those limited period when exam is held, its as simple as that! Whether this is the correct method of judging a student is highly debatable but one cannot ignore the fact that it is the most important aspect of a student's life to do well in examinations. Its simply the question of his/her survival and everyone knows that survival of the fittest is the rule of nature. So to be the fittest, or at least fitter, one must know and follow some basic guidelines...........

* Every success( whether related to exams or not) depends on four 'S' : skill.....stamina.....strategy......strength. Only a genius may have all these. Others usually have one or two. You have to identify which is your strong point. Once you have identified it, you are one step ahead.

* Be systematic and disciplined in your approach. Prepare a routine and try to follow it .

* Hard work has no alternative . It has to give dividend in the long run.

* Enhance your concentration power. Meditation or yoga might help.

* 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. Relaxation is as important as your study. Give an hour or at least half to outdoor activities in open air or simply listening music.

* ' Practice makes a man perfect'. Practice, practice and more practice.......

* Keep faith in your ability. Don't disheartened by one or two temporary setbacks.

* Follow the advice of your teachers. They are experienced enough to give you proper guidance.

* ' Fortune favours the brave'. In exams( like every other steps of life), an 'x' factor is needed.You can call it luck. But you cannot do anything about it other than relying on that old proverb.

Best of luck to all!
