An idea whose time has gone?

What if there are no exams, marks, and grades? Is there another option to assess students?

If you have lived through the result seasons of the Class 10 and 12 board exams, you know what a mark obsessive culture is. Should we grade or rank students at all? If there are no exams, where do the marks come from? What if there are no exams? What will learning look like? Exams and marks evolved as the currency of the educational process. In theory, marks indicate a student’s unbiased performance; but, in practice, it tells very little about the person. At best, it informs how well the student has remembered the content within a time limit. Researches tell a different story.
