A large number of students, teachers and parents across India have already signed up, reflecting the growing reach and impact of the programme.
Objectives and Context
Launched in 2018, Pariksha Pe Charcha is designed to help learners view exams as positive experiences rather than anxiety-laden hurdles. The session’s discussions focus on exam preparation, stress management, self-belief and well-being — valuable guidance as board exams, entrance tests and competitive assessments approach nationwide. The interaction provides a national platform where common concerns about academic pressures can be openly discussed, and students are encouraged to nurture a healthy learning mindset without undue stress. With its 9th edition set for 6 February 2026 at 10 am, Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 is expected to draw participation and viewership from students, families and educators across the country, reinforcing its role as a motivational and supportive annual conversation.
