Unknowingly or knowingly, while studying for public exams or competitive exams there is an unhealthy competition built-up among students either due to parental pressure, media hype, due to peer pressure or other factors.  

Competition often prioritizes short-term objectives, such as winning a specific contest or achieving the highest grade on a single exam, potentially overshadowing the importance of long-term learning and personal growth.

Not all students thrive in highly competitive environments, potentially leaving some unable to keep pace, leading to disparities in academic achievement and self-esteem.

Stress and Anxiety: The pressure to constantly outperform peers can lead to high levels of stress and anxiety, negatively impacting mental well-being and academic performance.

Negative Peer Relationships: Excessive competition may foster hostile and cutthroat environments, straining relationships among classmates and undermining collaborative learning.

Unhealthy Comparison: Competition often encourages individuals to measure their self-worth solely based on academic achievements, potentially leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

Burnout: The relentless pursuit of success in a competitive setting can result in burnout, causing physical and emotional exhaustion that hampers both academic and overall well-being.

Narrow Focus: Competition can lead students to focus exclusively on subjects related to the competition, neglecting a well-rounded education and limiting exposure to diverse knowledge and skills.

Risk of Cheating: Intense competition may tempt students to resort to unethical practices, such as cheating, to gain an edge, compromising their integrity.

To conclude, while competition in education can motivate and drive excellence, it carries the risk of negative consequences when it becomes excessive or unhealthy.
