PM Modi shares a message for students ahead of Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, which is set to be held later this month before board exams.
Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 is likely to be held later this month before start of Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. As preparations continue, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has shared a message for students asking them to trust their own way of learning and preparation.
In a video message Prime Minister has told students to “believe in your pattern” and avoid comparing themselves with others. He said every student understands subjects differently and should remain confident about their own study methods.
Prime Minister also spoke about importance of writing practice during exam preparation. He has said that regular writing helps students retain what they study and improves clarity during exam.
Questions raised by students in earlier editions of Pariksha Pe Charcha included topics like daily study routines, handling exam pressure, staying motivated and balancing preparation with rest. Some of these concerns were reflected in latest message as well.
PPC is an annual interaction where students, teachers and parents engage directly with Prime Minister on issues related to exams and academic pressure. This programme is held every year before board and competitive exams.
For 2026 edition, registration started in December on MyGov platform. According to official data, total registrations crossed 4.2 crore, highest since programme began. Board examinations for CBSE Classes 10 and 12 are scheduled to begin in February and PPC is conducted as a preparatory interaction ahead of exam season.
There is no information about ICSE 10th exams going digital this year. In case this happens, the board will inform if any changes are made in the ICSE exam pattern.
The Council will conduct ICSE exams 2026 in pen and paper format from February 17 and March 30, 2026. Students must go through the detailed ICSE syllabus and exam pattern to know the topics, units to study and to know the marking scheme, the difficulty level and more.
