List of Competitive Exams for school students in India

 

Here you will get a comprehensive and useful list of competitive exams for students in India.

It is needless to say that the present generation of children is in a cut-throat competitive world.  Mere bookish based classroom curriculum does not help them get sufficient knowledge to face the current scenario of challenges in the present rapidly changing world.

Nevertheless, the present course of education, enabled by CCE pedagogic methods, has also freed the children from strict public examinations till the end of school age. So the children’s learning skills and knowledge may not be properly developed.

So to assess the real potential and the capabilities of the children at the school level, the school students can be allowed to appear for the Competitive Exams conducted by various independent organizations. These tests are very important for the children to get exposed to the competitive atmosphere and to develop adequate confidence to meet with future challenges/targets in life.

These tests are mostly based on the academic curriculum and bring out the hidden talents of the children. The meritorious children who showcase their exceptional talents will be appreciated with scholarships, medals and merit certificates. Thus, they feel encouraged and confident.

 

When the student wins the competition

he/she experiences the learning,

if fails,

learns the experience.
