How is India's outdated exam obsession affecting the future of students?
India TodayA significant number of students across India are preparing for multiple competitive exams, with the pressure increasing sharply. THE PRICE OF EXAM PRESSURE In cities like Kota, often dubbed the ‘coaching capital’ of India, thousands of students migrate each year, seeking the golden ticket that promises entry into elite institutions. There are countless ways to build meaningful and successful careers without scoring top marks in these competitive tests.” LACK OF FOCUS It's not that preparing for exams is a bad thing. The problem is, many students aren’t aware of this shift because the system keeps telling them that exams are everything,” says Satia. It is time we started celebrating those alternative routes just as much as we celebrate top exam scores.” The path to success in India must be widened beyond traditional exams.
