PPC 2026: PM Modi’s Message To Students
During the interaction, Prime Minister Narendra Modi requested students to become “exam warriors”. Instead of fear, he asked students to face the Board exams with confidence and trust their preparation methods. He further added five tips for students to follow before the commencement of the Board exams:
1. Celebrate the Exam As A Festival
2. Compete with yourself, rather than others
3. Efficient Use of Technology
4. Attempt Difficult Question First
5. Don’t be a parrot, be an “Exam Warrior.”
Through these mantras, he aimed to reduce exam anxiety and promote joyful learning among students before the Board exams. Along with these, he also reiterated that dreaming big is important, but priority should be given to action. Only dreaming big won’t give results; you have to work towards your goal.
PPC 2026: Gaming Is A skill
One of the students said that he is interested in gaming, but his parents ask him to pay attention to his studies. He is unable to figure out what to prioritise. To this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that gaming is a skill.
He emphasised that students should learn relevant gaming skills but avoid gambling in that. He suggested making games on Indian stories and characters like Hanumanji and Abhimanyu.
PM Modi's Advice on Time Management
PM Modi told students attending the Pariksha Pe Charcha to plan their next day and write in a diary before going to bed. The next day, tally what is done and what is left. Following this will help students to manage their time effectively for the Board exams.
He gave his own example and said that he has millions of things to do in a day, but he doesn’t panic. Since he has already planned his day, his day goes smoothly.
Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026: Why Exams Seem So Difficult?
To this question, PM Modi said that students often follow the 10-year-old pattern. In this, students prioritise questions that are important and can be asked in the exam. If this does not happen, students feel that the exam is difficult. But that’s not true. Avoid rote learning, focus on substantial learning.
Learn with the motive that it can be used in your later life. Go for concepts instead of just mugging up formulae. He further emphasised that students should stick to their unique preparation routines and belief in them. Do not follow others’ methods blindly.
