Exams.........deadlier than death....

Final year student of MBBS is the best person on this earth who can understand the pain inflicted by exams. As it may seem that medical students face only 4 university exams during whole of MBBS but actual scenario is completely different. there are 4 professional exams....4 mid term exams....4 preliminary exams...innumerable part exams and ward exams.

कहते है की ज़िंदगी इम्तिहान लेती है, पर यहाँ इम्तिहानो ने ज़िंदगी ले ली है यारो...

due to so many exams we have to spend so many sleep less nights studying many useless things which are forgotten immediately after submitting the answer paper. Our education system needs to be reformed in order to develop more intelligent andrationale testing of knowldge. current examination system is nothing but hinderance in development of intelligence and understanding.

in order to score good marks many students go for sub standard books and end up studying so called "important topics" only and those who stick to standard books and try to develop understanding of the subject end up with substandard scores....this is paradox of medical studies with few exceptions. students spend more time in library than in wards.

This is one of the chief reasons responsible for declining practical knowledge in medical graduates and on other hand our government wants to hand over these fresh graduates the responsibility of PHCs the first contact between public and health care system.

why MCI is not thinking to reform medical examination system....so that we can have medical graduates with better applicability...so that future medical under grads spend more time with patients than mugging up some stupid names of genes in library...which won't be remembered outside examination hall??????
