Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (February 6, 2026) urged students to “trust their own study patterns” while remaining open to advice, stressing that “success comes from balancing self-belief” with continuous learning, during the 9th edition of ‘Pariksha pe Charcha’ held at the Prime Minister’s official residence at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg in New Delhi.
As examinations of CBSE, ISCE and other state boards approach, the Prime Minister interacted with select “exam warriors”. This year, the interactive sessions were also held with students in Devmogra in Gujarat, Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, Raipur in Chhattisgarh and Guwahati in Assam. Responding to a question about how students should handle confusion arising from different study patterns, the Prime Minister said examinees should focus on what works best for them while thoughtfully considering others’ suggestions.
While interacting with students, PM Modi said, “Listen to everyone’s advice, but change your pattern only when you want to. I have become PM. Still, people tell me to work in different ways. But everyone has their own pattern,” PM Modi said. “Some people study better in the morning, some at night. Whatever suits you, believe in that. But also take advice, and if that benefits you, then only add it to your life structure.
