What Are Exams — Stress Or Challenge?

While talking about the return of Class X Board, HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said, “"We don't want to create exam oriented pressure on students but there has to be a challenge mode." Do you agree with our HRD Minister? Can exams put in you chanllenge mode? Are you happy that Boards are back? 
 
 
Class X Boards are coming back
The CBSE Board would meet at the end of this month and a resolution is set to be passed to make class X board exams compulsory for all its students from next academic session, HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar has said. 
The minister also said the Human Resource Development Ministry (HRD) is working on an amendment to the Right to Education Act (RTE), and a proposal has been approved by the Law Ministry that would come to the Cabinet in a week or two. 
"This month there will be a CBSE Board meeting, in which there will be a resolution (for compulsory class X board exams). 
"So, I am very sure, from academic session 2017-18, Board examination will be mandatory for all students," Javadekar told PTI. 
The minister also asserted that it was "unfair" that 23 million students in the country were taking various examinations -state boards and CBSE- and yet two million were not. 
Under the present norms, CBSE students can choose between the Board exam or a school based examination. 
On RTE amendment, he said once it is approved by the Cabinet, it will go to Parliament. 
"Even if it is referred to a Standing Committee, I hope by April, we will have an amendment which will allow states to take a call on whether to have detention or no detention," Javadekar said. 
 
 
What About The No Detention Policy
Presently, the 'No Detention' provision under the RTE Act does not allow students to be failed or detained till class VIII. 
The states will be given freedom to choose between having examination for classes V and VIII, Javadekar said. 
"But we are also simultaneously saying that if you take it and somebody's detained, he should not lose one year. There should be a supplementary exam two months after and then he again joins the next batch. So that he does not lose a year but there is accountability for the student also," the HRD minister said.

I strongly believe that exams are both a stress and a challenge. Even if the board will not be introduced, but the pressure will still persist. In India, there is a race for marks. So, one needs to chase marks till the last.

Kashish Goel Bal Bharati Public School

I completely agree with Himanshi. It is both a stress and a challenge as it is a challenge to our brain that how much we can expand it. It is a stress as life is full of stresses and this one of it.

MEGHA BANSAL RAINBOW ENGLISH SCHOOL (JANAKPURI)

Challenge when individually one is ready and stress when others think they should be ready.

Onkarpreet Bhavan Vidyalaya

It all depends. For someone who hasn''t been regular to academics, it''ll obviously be a stress. However, if someone looks towards the positive side, they can be a challenge. You know, you can test all you''ve learned. Someone who has been punctual, won''t think of examinations as a stress. That''s what I think.

MEGHA BANSAL RAINBOW ENGLISH SCHOOL (JANAKPURI)

At this point of mankind''s existence we are being hypo-critic for this petty matter. When we want we say everyone is leading their own race on their own pace. Then we talk about exams which are scheduled according to fastest individuals.

MEGHA BANSAL RAINBOW ENGLISH SCHOOL (JANAKPURI)

Really hats off to Japan where children are not given any examinations till third standard, only confidence, only values. Quite ironical, it doesn''t exist in India which claims itself to be richest in values.

for me exams are a challenge to test my brain strength they improve my rational thinking and are a good exercise for my brain. but exams are stress for those who get terrified by exam and really think that they are hard

Ritvik Baweja BAL BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (PITAM PUR

The answer is simple, it depends on the child. If the student is a willing aspirant and is doing academically well, then surely he/she would take exams as a challenge and also to test his ability. But on the other hand for some children who are interested in other hobbies like art, games, music studies and giving exams is often a burden and stress.

KSHITIJ SHAH AMANORA PUBLIC SCHOOL AMANORA PUBLI

I strongly feel exams are of great importance.They challenge us to present what we learnt in the entire term.I also realise that exams make one stressed but this stress is not permanent.Once you clear all exams properly,your future is bright.

komal KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA (SR.)(AGCR ENCL)

exams are the challenge not stress . A challenge to prove yourself what u had learn.To show your teachers your loyality towards them .every teacher expect best from their students. Exams give us opportunity to do so. Stress is not for all subjects . like english,hindi,social science. Maths and science are tough ones in these subjects we could say that exams are stressful. now the era is of race .everyone is running for marks and money,here exams appear as a opportunity to show ur talent,

Sumedh Chavan ST. PATRICKS HIGH SCHOOL

This would differ from student to student! If students take it positively as considering it as a challenge students would really love studies.

Yashna Arora GD Goenka Public School,Model town

Personally,I believe exams are a combo-a combo of heaps of challenges and loads of stress.Some amount of stress,nervousness and anxietyis bound to come your way,regardless of how prepared you are and it is all for the good. All the anxiety and stress that crowds the days before the D-day challenge students to take it in their stride, battle it all and return home victorious!At the end of the day,it is about how people manage their fear and chanelise it. Boards or no Boards,challenges persist.

Nikhil Kumar HAPPY MODEL SCHOOL(JANAKPURI)

Exam is not a stress. It is scale to measure students preparation. It is a challenge. Exam is activity that helps to make student''s life perfect not stressful

Yashita Nagpal BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL (SWASTHYA VHR)

I consider examinations as a false idea because it tests our memory and not our knowledge. Nobody is going to ask us formulas or history when we grow up so it is just a phase of tension stress and worry combined with an unuseful outcome.

Brenda Marshal PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

Exams are not stress and not even challenge. It''s just a small examination or test of what we have learnt all year. Examination confirms that we are to be successful in our future..

Emima Thangapandi PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

Exams are held just to test our brains and to see that how much attention do we have in class.Now a days students take it as challenge and stress.We have just forgotten the needs of exam and we just have a mindset that it is stress or challenge. Now a days in board exams parents promise their children to buy them present if they take the percentage which their patents tall them,so children take it as a challenge.When children don''t get those average percent they think that it is a stress.

Afsha Saiyed PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

Exams are both stress and challenge because students take stress and try their level best to score marks which we would meet their parent''s expectations .I think most of the students think that exams should be completely banned.This is topic of banning exams should be hotly debated in India isn''t it?

undefined Bhavan Vidyalaya Panchkula

For me exams are a challenge because they give you a very nice chance to prove your potential and we all know that there is always a scope for improvement and we should target for more marks as the exams proceed. One feels very nice when he or she completes the challenge of getting more marks successfully. So according to me exams are healthy challenges which every student should accept.

Mayank Seth Anandram Jaipuria School

Each and every student has different perspective and opinion. Students who just need to get the tag of ‘passed'' and excel in other activities like sports , theatre then exam is surely a burden for them . But for the students who want to excel in studies and want to polish their skills will take exams as a challenge.

Mehek Sayyed Padua High School , Mankhurd

I completely agree with you Brenda.Exam''s are not stress nor a challenge.It is an opportunity to prove our self.and to show what our teacher''s teach us and what we understand.It is the test which show us our future is bright or simply wasted.And it try to build a good mindset which make''s a good position in our society....And specially board exam''s it is like a key to our future.If we passed we passed 1 stage of our life this how exam''s matter in our life.......

Atharv Vedant SW VIVEKANAND INTL SCH-BORIVALI

Exams are something that makes you study. So, it is a challenge in front of the student. But, stress only comes when the student do not take it as a challenge.

Sneha N Shastri St. Francis De Sales ICSE

I totally agree with megha cause it''s a challenge for you to find your strength and weaknesses but if others are ready for the heavy race then it''s a pathetic stress

Nitya Khanna Gopi Birla Memorial School - Walkeshwar

so true megha

ANSHU JM INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

i believe that exams are both stress and a challenge from one side it is stress and from another side it is challenge because when we study too much we fell very tired but sometimes i think that it is a challlenge

priyanka singhal HILLWOOD ACADEMY(PREET VIHAR)

Exams should not be seen as a stress or burden , if proper study schedule is followed then they won''t appear as horny as they sound.Moreover exams provide you with an opportunity to prove your knowledge and actually get acquainted with the text so it''s wise to see them as a challenge not trouble.

Salif Narmawala RACHANA SCHOOL -VA

On my opinion exams are both a challenge and a stress. It is a test for how much you can expand your brain and your knowledge.It tells us how much you know.But in India exams are mistaken as a race in which you have to get the best marks.Parents think child should get good marks every time.So on this way a challenge becomes a stress

TAVISHA ARORA dav public school

i think exams are not stress but a challenge. it is a challenge for our life to prove ourselves. it is a great platform for our knowledge to be tested so it is our wish to think it as a stress or as a challenge. this can only be possible by our hard work and determination in our mind

Sahil Shinde Sri Ma Bal Niketan High School

Most students find exams stressful.But spending time thinking negative thoughts about exams won’t help you to achieve better marks or motivate you to prepare properly.Instead realise that there are positive things about exams. This will help you to stay calm and motivated during your preparation.
