Results!!!

Results..results..tension in the air!!!
Really??? I doubt...There is that tinge of excitement about results but there is nothing more that you can do. Entrance tests which determine one's future can be given much more importance but these semester end exams really doesn't make a big difference. You can celebrate that you did well or crib about it saying I should have worked hard earlier.

Continuous evaluation throughout the year eases the pressure, no doubt, towards the end of the academic year but demands consistent performance. This has gradually led to betterment of the quality of education in this country.

For instance, the CBSE board giving students an option regarding board exams is a good move. This reduces the burden of students taking the exams. But, this hasn't helped the students fraternity to a great extent as figures show that there are a good number of students who do take up the exams.

Coming to the point of entrance exams. Students of 12th standard face a lot of parental pressure and are in a dilemma as to which one to opt for.  A student's performance on that single day of the entrance test determines his future ambitions and aspirations. There are several instances when the brainiest of the students aren't able to give their best performance due to some reason. This ruins the individual's career. There has to be other alternatives in such cases. The answer may be have several entrance tests instead of one but does it really help?

The latest is that corruption is making its way in education big time! AIEEE paper leak? Can something get worse than that? It's supposed to be an All India Entrance test to get into the prestigious NITs. This just shows the pathetic state of our country. Where have all the values gone?

Regarding results, at the end of the day what matters is that you should feel satisfied that you have learnt something new and have given your best shot in the exams. Have a positive attitude in life and work harder the next time.

Good Luck!!!
