Is GPA that counts the intelligence of a student??


I wonder why most people find "GPA" as a measure of student's intelligence.Is it enough to prove the talent of a student?Are people without a good GPA stupid?Never!!GPA/marks depends not only on the intelligence of a student,it also depends on luck,presence of mind during the exam.If a student couldn't perform well in a exam,it doesn't mean he/she don't know the subject.Its sometime a fate to get a bad grade in a subject.I also doubt whether who got good grade in a subject know it well or not.Of course yes,there are such people,i have a few friends like that.Some get good grades knowing the subject well and they never forget it.Also there are some category of people who get good grade in a subject n forget the subject when that semester is over.So how can a person count on GPA to know his/her intelligence??I think this is a very stupid logic of people.Especially in an Engineering stream,there is nothing to do with only grades.The person who get a good grade in a subject should also know what is its practical application,how it is related to the real world,how to implement it.Only then he/she is deserve that grade.But who cares??The colleges in the country only care about marks/grades of a student,not his/her talent.They give importance only those scholars!!Isn't it unfair??Dont the people with low GPA deserve a good job/or a good college for higher studies if they have a knowledge of the subject and talent in them?Think friends!!Pls feel free to comment!!
