Write a letter to the Editor of a newspaper against the use of unfair means by students in examinations. Your name is Ashok Goyal and you live at CB 12 A , Shalimar Bagh , New Delhi
CB 12 A
Shalimar Bagh
New Delhi
14 May, 2017
            The Editor,
            The Hindustan Times,
            New Delhi,
Dear Sir,
                           Through the column of your esteemed paper I would like to draw attention to one of the gravest situation of these days i.e. the use of unfair means by students in examinations. I shall feel highly obliges if you publish my views on the subject in your esteemed Daily.
            The use of unfair means by students has become very common. But the menace has assumed dangerous proportions now. Copying in examinations goes on unchecked. No wonder, here and there, some invigilators are found helping the examinees in the use of unfair means.  The evil has become deep-rooted.
The system of examination needs, complete overhauling.
            In fact, examinations have become a farce. They have lost their meaning. Among the reform in the examination system, introduction of internal assessment, setting of objective type questions and delinking of degrees can be suggested. The purpose of holding examination is to test the ability of the students. Any system of examinations that does not serve this end is purposeless. The sooner it is abolished the better it will be.
            I hope these views of mine will go a long way in making examinations meaningful.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Ashok Goyal.
