Pariksha pe Charcha 2022: Key highlights

• Why do students fear appearing for the exam? - Addressing the students, PM Modi said this will not be the first time they will be appearing for exams. Because in our day-to-day life we undergo several examinations as life in an exam where knowledge is gathered through various challenges we face.
• No difference between online and offline exams - Teasing students by asking whether they really study, or watch reels during online class, PM Modi said, “The fault is not online or offline. Online methods help to access knowledge. The offline method gives you a platform to use this knowledge. Learn online, but make sure you use this knowledge offline.”
• Students are also in a dilemma between fulfilling their dreams or their parents’ dreams. This puts them in an endless loop of confusion. I urge parents to understand their child’s interests and help them identify their abilities.
• On motivating oneself before the board exams 2022, the prime minister said, “We often look for ‘Motivation ka formula’, but we must first identify what demotivates us and keep them away. And, keep close the things that motivate us like a song or a book.”
• We should not study for exams. This is the wrong approach because then we are not focused on learning but passing the exams and marks

I am happy that NEP is being welcomed by everyone. This is not made by government but country's citizens, students and teacher for the future of the country,” he added.
