New Delhi, Jan 14 : A record-breaking 3.25 crore students, parents, and teachers have registered to participate in this year's 'Pariksha Pe Charcha' (PPC 2025) with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Ministry of Education lauds PPC as a growing mass movement that promotes examinations as a festival of learning and celebration. The 8th edition of the PPC has already set a record for registrations, surpassing last year's participation numbers.

Organised by the Department of School Education and Literacy under the Ministry of Education, the PPC has become a highly anticipated event. The 7th edition in 2024 was hosted in a Town Hall format at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
