Exam times are always a hyper tension time for me; not only me, am sure most of you who are reading this. Exam preparations are different for different person. It’s a century of tuitions and coaching centers. From junior kindergarten to engineering students depend on tuitions or coaching.
Recently I paid a visit to my cousin’s place. She walked in with great tiredness, threw her bag on to the bed with all her frustrations’. A day before she just got her 12th board exams done and from the very next day she started her entrance full day coachings.in her 11th and 12th class she rarely had her visit to her school, more time had she spent in entrance coaching colleges where they used to take both tuitions and entrance coaching. Now after her exams it’s become full day coaching.The state entrance exam begins by May end and the college allotments starts by June; July 1st week her new college life is to begin. She bursted out by asking to throw away those books.
When is she going to have a peaceful life?
Going for tuitions even for engineering always surprises me. What is that you gain through it? Marks or knowledge.
I still remember my frustrations of my 1st day at the entrance coaching center, but my parents never forced me to study or refer books to get through those days. Attempting IIT, AIEEE, CUSAT and KERALA entrance was my attempt to try my luck in them. And the entrance examination days were like some picnic days for me and my mom who accompanied visiting each place and also to watch various people specially students. Most eye catching student a girl, who was biting her books and continuously applying balm on her forehead, but couldn’t score well in entrance.
Now a days life for a student is just mugging up the texts and less exposing themselves to the outer world and letting them know what’s the actual world around.
very true!! Reading this I remember a chapter we had in English textbook. Children have started missing playing in the rains. And instead of learning the government focusses on marks making the syllabus simpler and reducing exams to 20 marks. The state board is going down.
