Are we pushing our students a bit too far in the name of SSLC examinations ?

What is happening to our SSLC toppers ? Are they able to maintain their performance. Is our parameters for measuring performance wrong ? Is it soo necessary to put the children through so much of pressure. in the name of a silly examination ?
For my 10th, we were banned from all extra curricular activities. No games, no fun, no holidays. Everything revolved around the exam. And I got very good marks. But that mark list has been of no use to me. None cares how much I got for my SSLC. During campus placement a few companies asked for a consistent performance of 60%. I have 30% more, and for that the sacrifice was too much. I could have learned some life skills.
All that you get out of your SSLC is an admission to a +2 school. There are too many schools and with a distinction you can get into almost any school. Then why are we wasting golden years of the student, putting him through too much of pressure and restraining him from all the extra curricular activities.
