Viva or orals are the important examination modalities. In any examination after theory and practical’s oral examination is to be taken by a candidate. Panel of examiners evaluate them and which may last 10 to 15 minutes or half an hour depending on the type of examination.
It is a bit difficult to understand may be sometimes a student is lucky that one may get questions of his choice or vice versa or in some circumstances a candidate alleges that the examiner was partial so one may believe that orals may not be the best possible method of a candidate's ability in some universities of USA oral examinations have been eliminated. Is viva the correct criteria for judging candidate’s ability?
