Abstract
The present study attempts to examine critically the existing General English examination pattern at the undergraduate level in Satavahana University, Telangana State. The question papers that are given at the end of the academic year at undergraduate level encourage students to memorize the answer for the questions and do not create the place in their minds for critical thinking. The research tries to bring out the undergraduate level question papers do not aim at communication skills of the students. The question paper setters should not choose the same questions every year and they must select thought provoking questions. The present paper suggests that all the four language skills should be given equivalent weightage in measuring English proficiency at undergraduate level.
