Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 draws over 32 lakh student registrations

Registrations for Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 have crossed the 32 lakh mark, reflecting strong nationwide participation in the Prime Minister’s annual interaction with students ahead of board examinations.

Official data released on Dec 15 shows that 3,210,044 students have signed up for the upcoming edition of the initiative. In addition, 255,554 teachers and 36,064 parents have registered to take part in the discussions.

Pariksha Pe Charcha is held every year as a platform for PM Narendra Modi to engage directly with students on managing exam stress, maintaining mental well-being, and adopting positive study habits.

The interaction also brings parents and teachers into the conversation, focusing on how they can support students emotionally during the 2026 board exam season.

Participation in PPC 2026 is being facilitated through an online registration process on the MyGov platform.

Applicants are required to select their category as student, teacher, or parent; complete a short multiple-choice quiz; and submit basic details.

Students also have the option to send questions they would like the Prime Minister to address during the interaction.

Beyond the main dialogue, the program includes essay-writing competitions and other engagement activities.

Ten top-performing students will receive an opportunity to visit the PM’s residence, while about 2,500 students, teachers, and parents selected through various MyGov contests will be awarded Pariksha Pe Charcha kits by the Ministry of Education.

Participants are also encouraged to access Exam Warriors, a book authored by Prime Minister Modi that emphasizes stress-free and joyful learning.

Digital modules linked to the book are available on the NaMo App, offering interactive content for students as well as guidance for parents and educators.

With registrations continuing to rise, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 is shaping up as a major national outreach effort aimed at reducing exam-related anxiety and promoting a balanced approach to education.
