It's been a long while since i wrote to you last . Don't worry ! I do have an article for you today .
SE blog traffic comprises the college students largely . So i am sure you guys must know about exams like CAT , AIEEE , BITSAT , XAT , JEE etc . If knowing is a big deal , then you must have at-least heard about them .
These exams are very hard to crack . You should be impregnably & ingeniously bright to clear these exams with distinction . Frankly speaking , most of us have no luck there . If the difficulty levels were not enough to put us off , most of these highly coveted exams are going online in few years .
The education sector has seen great implementation of the IT ever since it's inception . Smart-classrooms , digital education & virtual teaching methodologies have proved to be a boon .
Technology is a good slave but a monster for the master . I understand the concept of modernization goes hand in hand with virtualization , but the level of it's implementation is questionable .
Online examinations are something i can't stand . Only a minority of students in colleges & schools in India support the concept of studying from e-books . No matter how cheap , it's really difficult to study on a screen . Your eyes start to pain . You get disinterested & you might not be able to get to the bottom of the subject .
Going against the concept of online examinations is my personal choice . You might disagree . I respect your opinion . What's disappointing is the fact that in a jest to be politically correct & intellectually smart , we tend to say how good the concept of Online Ed is . We save a lot of paper . We save trees . We don't have to spend hard-earned money on expensive books . We get study-material 24*7 etc .
A few features surely , are truly fascinating but i think one can't put in his/her best while working with a screen . It's very similar to choosing i-pads , mobile phones , playstations for playing games over going out & playing Soccer , Cricket or sports involving physical activities .
When you are giving an online exam , you might be given a sheet of paper for rough work . You might keep it on your desk and start the exam . After a while you'll find yourself switching time & again from desk to paper & paper to desk . The techy life of a tech-savy child .
And when your life is at stake , let's say during the campus placement online aptitude tests , a single headache insinuated due to the screen-stress can give you a headache for your entire life . Suppose you mess up your CAT/AIEEE/IIT exam just because it goes online , you might as well get scarred . Harry Potter got a scar on his forehead . Yours might get instilled right in the centre of your brain .
Note : The exaggerated bits not to be taken seriously . However , i whole heartedly , am against the concept of online exams .
