MCQ is a universally recognised method of assessment practised worldwide. Only someone who studies seriously and truly understands all the topics of a particular subject can answer MCQs correctly. That's why a student has to study the whole book seriously.

Therefore, the idea of abolition of the MCQ system in response to the question leak phenomenon is not rational. We can think about incorporating less MCQs instead of abandoning the method outright. The authorities should refrain from taking hasty decisions.
