If there were no examinations the students would land on a heaven. It may lead them nowhere. But they would be free from the drudgery of the examination. Studies for them are a funny thing. It is no more un orchard of knowledge. The text books – the real fruits and flowers have no attraction for them. They go for selective studies done through selective books – notes and guides. These are the short cuts that lead them through the maze of examinations. The maze crossed they achieve the goal. No examinations – no goal – no books – not even short cuts, and they have to go nowhere. The strenuous two months before the examinations too will be left for relaxation or the hot chase of revelry. The world of academicians, poor souls! What they would do. They may if the education that is imparted brings some material gains. The slogan ‘education for the sake of knowledge’ won’t work. If they can find a formula that ensures success in life they may have crowds back. If they cannot devise such a method the Schools and Colleges may have a ghostly appearance.
