Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday kicked off Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, interacting live with students across the country and sharing practical guidance on handling exam pressure. Opening the session with the theme ‘Your Style, Your Pace’, the Prime Minister urged students to avoid unhealthy comparisons and focus on understanding their own strengths, learning methods and personal goals.
Addressing students, teachers and parents, PM Modi emphasised that exams should be treated as a part of life, not the sole measure of success. He highlighted the importance of time management, disciplined routines, mental well-being and maintaining curiosity beyond textbooks. The Prime Minister also encouraged parents to support children emotionally rather than adding to performance pressure.
Pariksha Pe Charcha, an annual initiative by the Government of India, aims to create a positive environment around examinations and promote stress-free learning. The 2026 edition continues the tradition of direct interaction, with students asking questions related to preparation strategies, focus, motivation and balancing academics with hobbies.
The live event is being watched by millions of students nationwide as board examinations approach, making it a key platform for guidance, reassurance and motivation ahead of the exam season.
