'Read Exam Warrior': PM Modi On Question About Competitive Exams

"I am saying this not because I have written that book, but I will request you to read the book 'Exam Warrior' at least twice in the next few days."

He says that instead of dreaming about becoming something, dream about doing something.
He says that one competitive examination is not the only option. There are immense possibilities if you have the right attitude.

He adds that career is an important aspect of our life. However, he criticizes herd mentality and says that one should not follow what everyone else is doing and choose a career suited to their interest and aptitude.
Our mentality should be such that we have to keep moving forward and not be deterred by failure. He says that we should keep alive the student inside us.
'Solve Easy Questions First, Boost Confidence': PM Modi
I would urge students to be confident about their own preparation.
- PMO India (@PMOIndia) January 20, 2020
Do not enter the exam hall with any sort of pressure.
Do not worry about what the others are doing.
Have faith in yourself and focus on what you've prepared: PM @narendramodi #ParikshaPeCharcha2020
Shaikha Khan, Indian School Dar-E-Salaam, Tanzania and Shobhit Rastogi, KV RK Puram, New Delhi say that they always forget everything right before entering the examination hall and ask for tips on how to deal with it?

'Early Morning Or Late Night - Which Is The Best Time To Study?'
Prerna, JNV Kannad Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Stanzin Narboo, Govt. Higher Secondary School, Ladakh, and Shubhashish Chatma, JNV, Tripura ask which is the best time to study - early morning or late night?
He feels the program is successful because the students are asking him questions that they would ask from someone close to them. On this note he says this is a difficult question to answer. He says that while he is habituated to waking up early in the morning, now his work keeps him up till late in night.
He says that studying early in the morning is suggested by many because lessons studied early in the morning are often retained in the memory.
He, however, says that everyone has a different style and different comfort. If a student is comfortable studying during the night they should do so.
He says a lot of students suffer from procrastination which is not a helpful trait. Next he says that students can align their study time with nature - waking up with nature and studying will help combat stress and procrastination.
Build Your Country To Lead: PM Modi To Students

Chaved Power, JNV, Andhra Pradesh, Karishma, Govt. Girls School, Kashmir, and Monika, DAV Public School, Chhattisgarh asked about how to cope with parents' expectation and the resulting stress?
PM Modi quips if this question is meant as a way for him to reprimand the parents. He adds that he doesn't intend to make children rebellious.
He gives the example of a spring and says that parents, guardians, and teachers should identify the capabilities of a student and polish that.
He says that no matter how old you are or how old your children are, you should recall the time when your children were small. You encouraged them with love to take their first step. Accept that your child is older now but stick to the psyche of helping and motivating your child that you had when your child was small.
In a family were parents think that they would support their child no matter what field they choose, they help their children into achieving success in life.

A very interesting question asked by a student from Arunachal Pradesh- on the importance of fundamental duties. #ParikshaPeCharcha2020 pic.twitter.com/haWDQj1pmd
- PMO India (@PMOIndia) January 20, 2020
Tapi Aku, JNV Arunachal Pradesh, P Shailesh Kumar KV Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and Gunakshi Sharma, Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya, Gujarat asked the Prime Minister about civil rights and duties and which is more important.
PM says that Arunachal Pradesh is the state where people greet each other with 'Jai Hind'. He says that this happened after the 1962 Indo-China war. The people in the state adopted Hindi along with their mother tongue heartily.
At the painting exhibition he attended before the event, students were introducing themselves in their mother tongue and in one another language.
Coming to the topic of Duties and Rights, he says all our Rights are emerged with our Duties. If a teacher performs his/her duty, then it automatically protects the rights of a student. He adds that if we all perform our duties, our rights are safeguarded.
Use Technology, Do Not Let Technology Use You: PM Modi
K Divya from Govt. Model Sen. Sr. School Andaman and Deepesh from Namchi Sr. Sec. School, Sikkim ask about how can Educational Technology help students.
PM Modi asks, 'Is knowing about technology enough?'
He says no. Knowing about gadgets is not enough. We should assess if we will use technology or technology will use us. Smartphones steal our time that we would be spending in the real world. He says we should be the master of technology and be able to determine how we will use it.
Today's generation has figured out how to use technology to their advantage.
He says that now he does not get the time but earlier he used to be inquisitive about Tech and would ask myriad of questions to understand a gadget.
He requests that students should designate one room in the house where tech will not get entry. Do this and, he says, life will become more interesting. He says that one should balance life with tech.
Extra-Curricular Activities Teach Important Lessons About Life
Prajakta, Kendriya Vidyalaya Jabalpur, Riya Negi from Government Girl Senior Secondary School Delhi, and Anamika from JNV Hooghly ask about the balance between Extra-Curricular activities and academic activities.
He says that we should balance both extra curricular and academic activities. He says that ECA should be done with all your heart and not with a disinterested mind.
He then says that a negative trend has hit these days. Parents treat extra-curricular activities their children take up as a fashion statement. Parents derive pleasure from bragging about all the activities their children do. Parents have now begun to pressure children into taking up glamorous extra-curricular activities.
"It is the parents' responsibility to pick the child's interests and take him/her to that activity," he added.
Extra-curricular activities should be integrated in life in a wholesome manner. If you embrace a ECA rich life, it provides lessons to live life after the academic life is over.
He also suggests students in class 10 and 12 to do something creative every day even if for 15 minutes. This will help them relax. We need ECA so that we do not turn into robots.
Exam Is Not Life, Marks Don't Guarantee Success: PM Modi
Mayank, Bloomingdale Public School, Uttarakhand says that people like Mark Zuckerberg have proved that marks in exam do not assure success in life. So how much focus should be on scoring high marks?
PM Modi that unintentionally our society has become one that believes that marks are the only indicators of success. He says that once upon a time scoring high marks may have been the ticket to success, but the world has moved on and marks in exams are not your entire life. It is just one milestone. We should think of it as an important milestone but not everything.
He requests parents and guardians that they should not pressure students into thinking that high marks in board exams are the only way to achieve success in life.

Unfilled Expectations Lead To De-motivation: PM Modi
Rajasthan student, Yashasree from Swami Vivekananda School, says that thoughts of the board exam affects her mood and asks how to motivate herself to work hard.
PM Modi says that youth should not feel demotivated. He says that de-motivation is often a result of external factors. He says the problem arises when we have expectations from others and it does not get fulfilled.
He suggests that students should put themselves in other's shoes to understand why their expectations were not fulfilled.
He adds there is rarely an individual who has not faced de-motivation in life because of Failure.
