Prime Minister Narendra Modi today advised students to stay away from panic and appear for their tests in a festive mood. "You are not giving exams for the first time. In a way, you are exam-proof. Thus, do not be stressed. Remember, you have overcome such exams before," said PM Modi while interacting with board exam students at the fifth edition of 'Pariksha Pe Charcha'. 
He further said, "There is no one sitting here who is appearing for exams for the first time. We have become exam proof by repeatedly sitting for exams after equal intervals of time. Exams are a stepping stone in our life."

Here are the highlights of PM Modi's interactive session with students in 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' event:

This is a special programme for me, but due to Covid pandemic I couldn't speak to you.

I am sure you (students) don't have tension regarding exams. Your parents will be having tension, not you.

Greetings to everyone for the coming festivals. We cannot enjoy festivals around exams but if we make exams a festival, we can enjoy them.

We will talk today on how to ace exams with hard work and in good spirits.

A lot of you have sent questions to me. I will try to address them in the limited time we have.

Today we will talk in the time we have but will address other questions you may have and put them on the NAMO app. So that it can be easy for everyone.
