As in ‘3 Idiots’, Marks Don’t Matter, Competence Leads to Success

What is more important: marks or knowledge? I say both.

This examination season, I urge parents to stop comparing their child with any Sharma ji ka ladka. Some parents think marks matters the most, but we live in an era where having a career in sports is more plausible than one in engineering.

Moreover, grace marking is well reported in news, taking off the mask from transparency in scoring. Spiking allows students to score high in the subject that is otherwise hard to score in. In the last three-four years, the number of students who have scored 95 has increased dramatically. So, marks indicate nothing about one’s intelligence.
