Abstract:

This research paper examines the traditional exam system's essentiality through a survey of 100 university students. Findings reveal a decreasing importance of exams, as students perceive limitations in accurately assessing their potential and fostering creativity. Additionally, time constraints emerged as a prevalent issue, hindering students' ability to balance exam preparation and other academic pursuits. The study underscores the need for innovative assessment methods that promote comprehensive evaluation and holistic learning experiences. By addressing these concerns, educators and policymakers can create a more effective and student-centered evaluation approach. This research offers valuable insights to guide the development of a balanced and relevant evaluation system that meets the needs of today's university students.
