India's Entrance Exam System Needs Reform

India's Entrance Exam System Needs Reform
Education without entrance examinations · thestatesman.com

India has a big problem with its entrance exams for colleges.

These exams, like NEET and JEE, are very hard and cause a lot of stress for students.

Many students go to expensive coaching centers to prepare, which can cost a lot of money and still doesn't guarantee success.

This system has led to many students feeling desperate and even some tragic suicides.

Recently, there was a leak in the NEET exam, which showed how fragile and unfair this system can be.

Some people think that instead of these high-stakes exams, schools should focus more on regular studies and use school marks for college admissions.

This could make education less stressful and more about learning.

Also, students should be encouraged to learn skills that can help them start their own businesses or improve family professions, rather than just aiming for white-collar jobs.

This way, education can be more about building a better future for everyone.
