An ideal institution gives to students the scope and the spirit of healthy competition — to excel at all levels. Classwork and the homework given by teachers have their academic importance; in this also one who excels wins the praise and appreciation from the teachers. But academic distinctions alone do not fulfil all the purpose for which the educational institution exists. In order to develop the children body and mind demand proper nurturing of its physical and intellectual qualities as few of the major determinants of his personality. Therefore, modern educational methods emphasize on overall development of the students. Educational process is not a static concept or one-time procedure, rather it is a continuous and long term process that is diversified as curricular or academic activities or co-curricular and non-academic activities. Co-curricular activities are those, that are not directly related with the prescribed curriculum. It includes, dramatic, debates, sports, fine arts, literary activities, gaming activities, that helps in holistic development of the students. Nowadays, colleges organize cultural fests, talent hunts, college fests to keep the students engaged and learn to get exposure of public and management activities. This study is an initial attempt to understand perspectives of students to understand whether they support the fact that co-curricular activities are equally important for assessing student’s overall performance. Evaluation of university student’s only on the basis of written exams doesn’t always becomes reliable. The study also tries to understand whether student support the idea of modification in the pattern of exam. The study can be helpful to decision makers of educational institution, and make their decision in assessing today’s students and developing them.
