One of the students asked about his concerns related to travelling to the examination centres for the board exams amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The Education Minister replied that students should reduce their fears about travelling to exam centres amid COVID. In 2020, JEE and NEET exams were conducted amid the pandemic and all the competitive exams were conducted successfully across India and abroad by the conducting authority.

He also lauded the teachers and the students to face the COVID-19 crisis with grit and determination and converted "challenges into opportunities". He also explained the importance of the ‘Manodarpan’ platform to students to release their stress and boost up their mental health that was affected due to sitting at home for a long time.
