Online exams for MBA entrance – Pros and Cons
by Shalini Sharma a passionate bloggerWithout doubt Internet has taken a complete
footprint in India and we all are enjoying the benefit. Students are reaping
the fruit of Internet thereby with the help of search engines, average student
has become very informative and true to the name of www (World Wide Web) all
the students have become rich for updating their overall awareness.
Exam conducting bodies have totally
exploited the above benefit and gone for online exams besides that the other
benefit is that the exams have become paperless and in the bargain they have
contributed towards better environment.
Questions which have similar or different
sets and in one go all the centers are having minimum physical delegation with
maximum output. The other benefit of Online is the transparency which has
become very clear. The fast pace of online examinations have started a new era
and particularly for MBA examinations CAT is the pioneer followed by most of
the examinations which have gone online.
There are certain pros and cons with online
examinations on the one hand exam conducting bodies like CAT, XAT, SNAP, CMAT,
NMAT etc. are able to have more registrations of the candidates because
application forms can be submitted online also. Whereas student prospective is
slightly different and students still feel that sometimes paper pen exams can
give little more scope of elaboration and this fact is vindicated by the fact
that inspite of online XAT examination Essay has to still be written on a piece
of paper.
Besides the above, online examinations
positively create more challenges and not only the exam conducting bodies find
some glitches during examinations but even students also find it a slight difficulty
to recover from the error which might have occurred during the exam. Because
most of the time the facility of the back and forth is not being given.
Although online examinations are popular
but still most of the time post exams skill tests are physical and on paper
pencil.
