"Who is tense? You or your parents? There are more people here whose parents are tensed. If we make exams a festival it will feel vibrant," he said.

To a query, the prime minister said the National Education Policy has been wholeheartedly welcomed by every section of the country.

Kenny Patel from Gujarat's Vadodara asked how can one complete syllabus along with proper revision and also get proper sleep.

"Why are you scared, It's not the first time you are taking exams. Now you are reaching the last mile. You have crossed the entire ocean why are you scared of sinking on the shore?" the PM responded.

Pariksha Pe Charcha is being organised for the last four years by the Education Ministry's Department of School Education and Literacy.

The first three editions of PPC were held in Delhi in an interactive town-hall format. The fourth edition was held online on April 7 last year.
