PART 1: SKIT — “The Exam Dilemma”
Scene: A school corridor or classroom bench. Meena is reading a textbook. Ravi walks in
nervously. Arjun enters with earphones, humming a tune.
Ravi: NEET, JEE, CUET, UPSC… It’s like exams are the only thing in life now! I don’t
think I’m ready. What if I fail?
Meena: Relax, Ravi. Everyone feels nervous. But these exams aren’t walls — they’re
bridges. I’m preparing for JEE. It’s tough, but it’s my path to IIT.
Arjun: Chill, guys! You’re making life all about marks and ranks. I’ll go with the flow.
Something will work out. Why stress?
Ravi: But don’t you have a dream, Arjun?
Arjun: My dream is to relax! No exams. No pressure. (Grins)
Meena: That may sound fun now, but what about your future? Competitive exams give
us access to amazing colleges — IITs, AIIMS, IIMs — where we can build real careers.
Ravi: You’re right. Maybe I need to stop doubting and start preparing.
Direction: (All three freeze or sit quietly. Lights dim and shift to center stage where
Speakers step forward.)

prestigious colleges and high-impact careers.
