The online registration process for Pariksha Pe Charcha (PPC) 2026, the yearly interactive programme where Prime Minister Narendra Modi engages with parents, teachers, and students prior to exam season, has been made available by the Ministry of Education. Every year, thousands of people participate, but only a small percentage are chosen to speak with the prime minister face-to-face.

When will Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 be held?

The ninth edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha is scheduled to occur in January 2026. The Prime Minister will address students, teachers, and parents in a live session focused on exam stress, preparation strategies, and motivation.

Can students meet PM Modi through Pariksha Pe Charcha?

There is no open meet-and-greet at Pariksha Pe Charcha. However, during the main event, a small number of students who made the shortlist have the chance to speak with Prime Minister Modi face-to-face.

  • Questions submitted by students
