Should exams be rescheduled if they clash with sporting events?
The sports personalities around the world are all successful because they are top-notch professionals, who put their careers ahead of all other things in life. Why should we behave in a manner that contradicts this by making a fuss and rescheduling exams that clash with sporting encounters? After all, the first priority in a student’s mind should be his career. Plus a student who works hard throughout the year should not find it difficult to find time to watch at least a part of the game, even if it does clash with exams.
