    Academic competition is desirable or not?

    Competition among the students will motivate the students and help them to increase their efforts to stand out among a group of students. Competition may make the students more attentive and make them more focused on learning. If there is no competition, a student thinks that he is doing his best and may relax which may bring down his performance. That way healthy competition may help a student to bring the best out of him.

    But there may be some drawbacks also. Students may get stress and anxiety because of this competition. Sometimes this will make the student get disappointed and may bring down his performance.

    In my opinion, it is desirable to have competition among the students. I like to know the views of other members.

    Healthy competition is the framework for progress and development. Competition is the only motivator which strongly influences the people to do efforts and succeed to achieve their aims. Competition provides a benchmark which changes from situation to situation and challenges the players to achieve it. Without competition the push to do more would be absent from the game.
    Many mediocre or dull students very well know that competition is not for them but some of them work hard and find where they stand. If they do not succeed then there is nothing to be disappointed as they were only testing the waters.

    Knowledge is power.

    Healthy competition is certainly essential for the mental growth of the students. It allows the students to excel well in their studies irrespective of the classes they are attending. In that way, they are getting the opportunity showing their better performance in the wake of heavy competition existing among the colleagues. This should be taken in that spirit only.
    They should not take such opportunities otherwise and should exploit such opportunities to their level best.
    But there are some who become overstressed due to increased competitiveness. Inferiority Complex within them might set up due to their fears that they would show a disappointing result in the next time. They need to come out of such imaginary situations and gear up their minds for the best show for the next time.

    I believe that competition can motivate students to excel and focus on learning, leading to improved performance. However, it may also cause stress and anxiety. Overall, the personally favors having competition among students and seeks the opinions of others on this matter.

    Competition is a word that has been an important part of our lives not only today but history. Due to competition, many people have achieved achievements, while some people have executed war, etc. The word competition is really important in the progress of life, but for this, it is necessary to understand the true meaning of this word.

    The form of competition is probably not the same now, due to which a new word was born which we call "Healthy Competition".

    Competition is definitely necessary and every outcome of it will be positive but only as long as it is happening in a healthy environment. When a person competes only to make himself successful, everything is fine. The problem arises when a person starts competing not to lift himself up but to pull others down to the detriment of others. I believe that if we adopt the real form of competition and give the same form to the coming generation, then competition will never be the cause of depression or sorrow.
