What is Pariksha Pe Charcha?
Pariksha Pe Charcha is an annual national-level interactive programme launched in 2018, in which the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, interacts directly with students, parents and teachers ahead of the board examination season. The initiative was started to help students deal with exam-related stress and to promote a positive, confident and balanced approach towards examinations and learning.
The programme is led and addressed by the Prime Minister himself and does not have a separate anchor. It follows an interactive question-and-answer format, with questions selected from submissions received from across the country. Discussions during Pariksha Pe Charcha focus on exam preparation strategies, time management, mental well-being, motivation, handling pressure, and the role of parents and teachers in supporting students.
Pariksha Pe Charcha is usually held in January and is broadcast live nationwide through television and official digital platforms, ensuring wide access for students across different regions and backgrounds.
Students continue to dominate participation
Students remain the largest group of participants in Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026. The strong student turnout highlights the relevance of the programme during the board exam season, as learners seek guidance on handling pressure, improving focus and maintaining emotional well-being during examinations.
Other important information
Participation certificates are issued to registered candidates after the event. Selected participants may have their questions featured during the live interaction. Pariksha Pe Charcha continues to emphasise that examinations are only one part of a student’s learning journey and should be approached with confidence, balance and a positive mindset.
