It is an age old practice to travel to examination hall to write an exam. I am not sure when there will be a last day when a person has to travel to appear in exam. Whether school, college, university or management, technical, product certification exam we have to take a pain of travelling, sitting in an environment decided by examination body and then write the exam.

In 21st century when we want to save energy, make earth more greener, reduce the cost of every operation then we should allow students to write exam from their preferred place, whether it is forest or mountain or river bank or bathroom or bedroom or friend’s house.

When exam guidelines are as stringent as below then what else we want to ensure by forcing people to travel in the examination hall.
