Registrations are now open for Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) 2026, the ninth edition of the annual national interaction where the Prime Minister talks to students, teachers, and parents about dealing with exam pressure. As board exams inch closer, PPC once again returns as India’s most-awaited learning and counselling event—one that blends motivation, mentorship, and practical guidance for millions of young learners.
According to the Ministry of Education, the event will take place in January 2026, and participation has officially opened on the MyGov Innovate platform. The registration window closes on January 11, 2026, giving students, teachers, and parents a little over a month to submit entries.
What Makes Pariksha Pe Charcha So Popular?
Pariksha Pe Charcha has become more than an annual talk—it is now a nationwide movement. Each year, millions join in to interact, submit questions, share their worries, and learn ways to stay confident during exam season.
The programme is part of the wider “Exam Warriors” initiative, aimed at empowering students with emotional resilience, positive study habits, and long-term strategies to fight anxiety. Over the years, PPC has been credited with helping students feel heard, supported, and less anxious as exams approach.
Parents and teachers too have embraced the programme, as it offers them new ways to understand children’s emotional needs, rethinking how they support learning at home and school.
How Students Can Participate in Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026
For students of Classes 6–12, taking part is simple and fully online. They must register through the dedicated Pariksha Pe Charcha competition available on the MyGov Innovate portal. The registration process includes:
- Signing up on the MyGov portal
- Selecting the Student category
- Answering thought-provoking questions
- Completing simple online tasks
- (Optional) Submitting a question for the Prime Minister
This last step—submitting a question—is often the most exciting part for students. From exam stress to career choices to productivity tips, students get to ask what truly bothers them. Questions submitted during the competition are shortlisted, and selected students get a chance to participate directly in the live event.

Their role involves:
- Logging in on MyGov
- Completing small quizzes or task-based activities

Teachers often provide insights into better assessment methods, while parents share experiences on supporting children’s exam preparation. The programme values each voice equally, making participation meaningful for all three groups.
Why Pariksha Pe Charcha Matters — Beyond the Interaction
Pariksha Pe Charcha is unique because it blends motivation with practical advice. Over the years, the Prime Minister has spoken about:
- Handling exam tension
- Avoiding comparison with peers
- Staying focused
- Overcoming fear of failure
- Managing time effectively
- Balancing digital distractions
The guidance often stays with students long after exams are over, helping shape healthier attitudes toward academics and competition. Many schools across India also broadcast the programme live, turning it into a shared learning moment for entire classrooms.
Millions Expected to Register Again
Past editions have seen record-breaking participation, with entries coming from every state and demographic. Students from remote villages, urban metros, government schools, private institutions, and even homeschoolers take part.
Given the scale, the organisers are expecting millions of registrations again this year. Official sources confirm that every participant—regardless of whether they are shortlisted—will receive acknowledgement for their entry.
A National Mission to Reduce Exam Anxiety
At its core, Pariksha Pe Charcha is not just an event; it is an attempt to redefine how India thinks about exams. Instead of pressure and fear, the programme promotes:
- Confidence
- Curiosity
- Discipline
- Calmness
- Strategic preparation
With examinations becoming increasingly competitive, PPC offers students the breathing space and emotional support they desperately need.
As the country steps into exam season, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 once again stands as a reminder: students are not alone. Their worries matter. Their voice matters. Their well-being matters.
