What is Examination?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Examination is a structured and pre-planned process which evaluates a student’s knowledge,<\/strong><\/a>\r\n skills, competencies, or aptitude in a particular domain or subject<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schools, professional institutions, training centres, colleges, recruitment bodies are some of the popular places where exams<\/strong><\/a>\r\n are taken under supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key advantages of the examination<\/strong><\/a>\r\n is to measure students’ knowledge<\/strong>. Exams are designed for different purposes from students’ career growth to job placements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Assessment is a systematic and continuous procedure of evaluating information<\/a>\r\n such as students\u2019 skills, knowledge, behavior, and overall development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an ongoing academic process used to collect insights about a student\u2019s learning or <\/strong>a professional\u2019s<\/strong> performance and seek areas for improvement. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
