Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared a message for students before the Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 event. This event is a special talk where students, teachers, and parents can discuss exam-related topics with the Prime Minister. It is scheduled to take place later this month, just before the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams begin.
Message for Students
In a video message, Prime Minister Modi advised students to believe in their own study methods and preparation style. He urged them not to compare themselves with others, as every student learns and understands subjects in a unique way. He encouraged them to stay confident in their personal approach to learning.
The Prime Minister also highlighted the importance of writing practice for exams. He explained that practicing writing regularly helps students remember what they study and makes them clearer and more confident when answering questions during the actual exams. Common concerns raised by students in past Pariksha Pe Charcha events included managing daily study, handling exam stress, staying motivated, and balancing studies with rest. These themes were also touched upon in his recent message.
What is Pariksha Pe Charcha?
Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) is an annual program. It is held every year before the board and other important exams. It offers a platform for students, teachers, and parents to interact directly with the Prime Minister on issues and challenges related to exams and academic pressure.
High Registration for PPC 2026
The registration for Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 started in December on the MyGov platform. This year, the programme saw a record number of registrations, crossing 4.2 crore . This is the highest number of registrations since the event began. The board examinations for CBSE Classes 10 and 12 are set to start in February. The Pariksha Pe Charcha is organized as a way to help students prepare and feel more confident before the exam season begins.
