HYDERABAD: Stressing on the need to bring in examination reforms to
improve the overall quality of technical education, AICTE chairman Anil D
Sahasrabudhe on Wednesday said open book examinations should be
encouraged and students should be asked to solve problems instead of
writing exams.
Speaking at the Bridge 18 conference organized by ICT Academy in the
city, he said that the Bloom’s Taxonomy model should be followed to test
a student instead of theoretical exams that just measure memory power.
“Our current examination system only measures students’ memory skills.
They might get good marks in a theory exam but they don’t know how to implement what they learn. To discourage students
from rote learning, new reforms should be introduced and, open book exams should be encouraged. Let them refer to any
book, the main criteria should be that a student should be able to solve a problem,” said Sahasrabudhe.
