Day 31 | Marks vs. Mind: Why Exams Can’t Measure Your Intelligence in 2026

Описание: Day 31 / 365 : A piece of paper doesn't decide your future, but why does the system still act like it does? Today, we’re debating the "Intelligence vs. Examination" trap.

The Hook:
We’ve all seen the "backbencher" who builds incredible apps but fails Theory exams, and the "topper" who can't debug a simple line of code. In 2026, the industry cares about Problem Solving, but our schools still care about Retention. Today, I’m breaking down why the exam system is a "filter," not a "judgment," and how you can survive it without losing your confidence.

The Debate Points:
The "Standardized" Flaw: Why testing a fish on its ability to climb a tree (the classic Einstein metaphor) is still the biggest problem in CSE and STEM.

The Memory Trap: In an age where every fact is a "Hey Siri" or "Search" away, why are we still graded on memorizing syntax?

What Exams ACTUALLY Measure: It’s not intelligence—it’s discipline, time management, and the ability to work under pressure. (Which are useful, but not the same thing!)

The 2026 Shift: How top tech companies are removing "degree/percentage" requirements in favor of skill-based assessments and GitHub portfolios.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) vs. IQ: Why the skills that make you a great leader or engineer—empathy, teamwork, and creativity—can't be captured in a multiple-choice question.

The Goal:
If you’re stressed about your upcoming finals or a bad grade, this video is your reality check. I’m not saying "don't study," but I am saying "don't let a score define your worth." Let’s talk about how to build True Intelligence while still playing the "Exam Game" to get your degree.
