Examination system is the integrate part of educational process that assesses the students whole academic achievement. This process is so important that parents and teachers prepare students for examination whole year. Most of the schools especially in government schools there is one time written paper held for almost three hours. This assesses the whole academic achievement of a student; so the whole academic process of a student depends upon that examination. Study evaluates the challenges face by the higher secondary students in annual examination. 80 students who observed the annual and semester system were selected to response through an open ended questionnaire and 20 lecturers from Government Colleges district Matiari were interviewed. From the findings it was evaluated that annual system has failed to achieve the desired targets and it stops the intellectual and creative abilities of the students. Annual examination system just focuses the grades and marks but doesn’t assess the cognitive, intellectual and creative abilities. Lecturers and students both suggested the semester system as alternate of annual system. According to both lecturers and students; the semester system activates the students whole year and it assesses the skill based learning of the students and it also enhances students’ research abilities so, the semester system should be applied in higher secondary level.
