Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 has set a new participation record, with more than 4 crore registrations so far, surpassing last year’s Guinness World Record tally of 3.56 crore. The update was shared by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday, who said the initiative has grown from an annual interaction into a nationwide movement promoting a stress-free exam environment for students.
The Minister urged students, referred to as “Exam Warriors”, to actively join this year’s edition and benefit from the Prime Minister’s guidance on confidence, focus, well-being and stress management as exams approach.
Registrations opened on December 1, 2025 through the MyGov portal and include students, parents and teachers from across the country. According to the Ministry, the overwhelming response reflects the programme’s rising popularity and its role in addressing exam-related anxiety and promoting a positive and holistic approach to education.
Organised annually by the Department of School Education and Literacy, the event brings participants together to interact directly with the Prime Minister on academic pressures, mental well-being and personal development.
With exams drawing closer, the Ministry has encouraged more students to register for Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026 and take advantage of the platform’s guidance on handling exam stress with confidence.
