TIME v/s MARKS SCORING - EXAM. PATTERN # In our Examination pattern, the students have to ‘score’ the prescribed marks in the given ‘time’. # But, in the Globalized world of today, the examinations are conducted to know the ‘Re-Collecting’ Capability of the students. # Under the annual scheme, the Students were writing for ‘100 marks in 180 minutes’ (3 hours), and they had ‘1.8 minutes’ to score every ‘single mark’. # After the introduction of the semester scheme, the students are answering for 80 marks and 60 marks question papers. # The Students who are writing for ‘80 marks in 180 minutes’ (3 hours) are having ‘2.25 minutes’ to score a ‘single mark’! # The Students who are writing for ‘60 marks in 180 minutes’ (3 hours) are having ‘3.00 minutes’ to score a ‘single mark’!! # But, the students who after completion of Degree, wishes to appear for interviews of a very good Organizations, will be having only ‘45 seconds to 1 minute’ to score marks. # Examinations are supposed to be conducted, not only to test the ‘recollecting capability’ of a student but also to test the ‘speed of memory recalling’. # Hence, to make the gen-next degree students more capable in this competitive world, either (1) the prescribed time or (2) the pattern of the question paper or (3) maximum marks or (4) amalgamation of all these may have to be re-considered. - Prof.A.Narayana Prasad., narayanprasad_a@yahoo.com
