New Delhi, Feb 18 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s eagerly awaited and popular initiative, 'Pariksha Pe Charcha 2025' (PPC), culminated in a spectacular finale on Tuesday. In its eighth edition, this distinctive interactive session showcased toppers from esteemed examinations such as CBSE, ICSE, UPSC Civil Services, CLAT, and IIT-JEE, who shared valuable tips and experiences with students.
The special episode featured a varied panel of achievers including Shuchismita Adhikari, the ISC topper; B. Nistha, an MBBS graduate from Manipur University and a previous PPC participant; Ashish Verma, a leading performer from IIT Delhi and also a former PPC participant; Radhika Singhal, the CBSE topper for 2022-23; Vavilala Chidvilas Reddy, IIT-JEE Advanced AIR-1 for 2023; Jai Kumar Bohara, CLAT AIR-1 for 2024; Armanpreet Singh, NDA AIR-1 for 2024; and Ishita Kishore, UPSC AIR-1 for 2022.
Each topper imparted significant insights into their journeys and the ways they navigated challenges during their preparations.
B. Nistha, addressing the pressures and anxieties many students encounter while preparing for exams, remarked, “The initial stress revolves around the syllabus. What to cover, and by when to complete it. Prioritisation and revision are essential. I found flowcharts and concise pointers more helpful than making notes. Each student has their own unique study method.”
In an effort to alleviate the anxiety surrounding competitive exams, UPSC topper Ishita stated, “When we think of exams, fear often consumes us. It’s crucial to overcome that fear. As PM Modi says, ‘To cheat is to be cheap,’ so maintain honesty in your approach to build confidence.”
Previous PPC participants recounted how their involvement in the event had reshaped their study approaches.
Ashish Verma shared his insights, saying, “To excel in any area, you need to achieve three wins each day: spiritual, mental, and physical. Accomplishing these three puts you ahead of the competition.”
Along with inspiring narratives, students were also given the chance to resolve their queries during a Q&A session.
Common issues such as strategies for exam preparation, managing stress, and resisting the urge to cheat were thoroughly discussed by the toppers.
A crucial piece of advice that resonated with both national and international students was to engage in extracurricular activities like music and sports, which can help alleviate stress during the demanding exam season.
The toppers urged students to concentrate on holistic development as a means to diminish anxiety and enhance focus.
The 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' initiative once again demonstrated its role as a source of inspiration and guidance for students across India and beyond.
