PM Modi discussed with candidates from across the country. This year, interactive sessions were organized with the candidates at Devmogra in Gujarat, Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Raipur in Chhattisgarh, Guwahati in Assam and the official residence of the Prime Minister in Delhi. During the discussion on the examination, PM Modi also interacted with students, parents and teachers. In the ninth edition of the program, PM Modi said in clear words that marks in the examination are not everything, but the balance between studies, skills and hobbies is what creates the real identity. In such a situation, let us now tell you what is the real identity of marks or skills and what is the big mantra given by PM Modi to the students in the discussion on the examination.

Balance is the real key – PM Modi

Answering the questions of students in Pariksha Pe Charcha 2026, PM Modi said that often there is a debate whether marks or skills are more important. On this he emphasized that one cannot walk away holding on to just one thing in life. It is necessary to develop studies, skills and interests together. If there is balance in life, then the path to move forward will automatically become easy. Apart from this, the PM advised the students not to make examinations the ultimate goal of life. He said that education is only a medium of development, whereas the real objective should be all-round development. Focusing on a strong foundation automatically leads to success in future competitive exams and also reduces unnecessary pressure.

Both life skills and professional skills are important

During the discussion on the examination, PM Modi also explained the difference between life skills and professional skills. He said that professional skills come from books and practice. But life skills develop from a disciplined life, good health and strong communication skills. In such a situation, it is important for any student to maintain a balance between the two.

Also gave advice on gaming hobby and studies

On the question of a student making gaming a career, PM Modi said that to give practical meaning to any hobby, it should be shared with others. Feedback provides new ideas and determines the direction to move forward. He also said that it is important to maintain a balance between studies and entertainment. In the same program, PM Modi told the parents that it is not right to impose the same time limit or expectations on children. The learning pace of every student is different. At the same time, teachers were advised to stay just one step ahead of the students, so that the learning process remains smooth and students are not left behind.
