In past editions, the event has also included inspirational sessions, career guidance, discussions on holistic learning, and strategies to approach exams with a positive mindset. Given its growing scale and popularity, PPC 2026 promises to be one of the largest student-engagement efforts prior to the upcoming board examination cycle.
Why This News Is Important
For Students Across Exam Streams
For aspirants — whether preparing for school board exams, competitive exams like banking, railways, civil services (e.g. PCS, IAS), or officer‑level recruitment — exam stress and pressure are common challenges. PPC 2026 offers a national‑level platform that acknowledges these pressures and attempts to address them holistically. Thus, this initiative is relevant to all exam‑going students, regardless of the field.
Confidence, Mental Health & Positive Exam Attitude
Participating in PPC can help students develop a healthy approach to exams — shifting focus from fear and anxiety to confidence, preparation, balance, and well‑being. For those preparing for any high‑stakes exam (teachers, police, banking, civil services, etc.), mental resilience and stress‑management are critical. PPC encourages exactly that mindset.
Encourages Inclusivity — Students, Teachers & Parents Together
By including not just students but also teachers and parents, PPC 2026 underlines the role of a support ecosystem — essential for exam success in long‑term competitive career paths (like civil services, banking, railways, defence). It emphasises that exam preparation isn’t just individual, but also a collective effort.
Certificate & Official Recognition
Even participation — regardless of being selected for live interaction — results in a certificate from MyGov. For aspirants whose CVs or applications require demonstration of engagement with educational initiatives or extra‑curricular involvement, such a certificate may be a small but positive addition.
Reflects Government’s Focus on Student Welfare and Education Policies
PPC 2026 reiterates that the government (through Ministry of Education & other agencies) remains committed to supporting student welfare, mental health, and holistic learning. For future civil‑servants, educators, or public‑service aspirants, such initiatives reflect broader policy directions that could influence their understanding of education governance and reforms.
Historical Context: Evolution of Pariksha Pe Charcha
- The first edition of Pariksha Pe Charcha was launched in February 2018 by the Prime Minister as a platform for students to discuss exam‑related stress, guided by ideas from his book on exam warriors.
- Over the years, the programme’s scale has grown dramatically. The initial edition saw about 22,000 participants, while by the 8th edition in 2025, registrations soared to over 3.5 crore.
- The 2025 edition earned a Guinness World Record for “Most people registered on a Citizen Engagement Platform in one month”, reflecting its massive reach and engagement.
- Over time, PPC has evolved from a one‑day physical event to a hybrid model including online registration, MCQ‑based selection, remote participation for teachers/parents, and greater emphasis on exam‑stress, mental health, and holistic learning. This evolution aligns with broader educational reforms embracing digital participation and student well‑being.
