I am sure you are thinking about your children's examination that have started or are about to start. I am as worried about exams as parents are.

I feel that my 25-30 minutes discussion will be very useful for the students appearing in exams.

Set realistic, achievable targets for yourself and try to achieve them.

Set your targets and pursue them with a free mind, without pressure. Compete with yourself and not others

Keep your thinking positive, positive results will surely follow

Exams are not merely about marks

Every exam is a step towards achieving that great purpose; Every success will become a key to achieve that great purpose

Do not limit yourself with what will happen in these exams. Work for a larger purpose, for a vision

Take adequate rest and good sleep

In life, discipline is a big reason behind strong foundation of success; Discipline provides a strong foundation

Stay calm and sleep well.

It's important not to put too much pressure on yourself an don't keep your expectations too high.

Don't be over-confident but don't be pessimistic either.

Even during exams, if we smile and laugh, we will start experiencing the inner peace

If your mind is at peace you will be able to find the treasure of knowledge and exams will become much easier for you

My advice is that stay calm and don't run after success and accept the situation.

It's not necessary that all of us get success we should also learn to live with failures

I fully realise that the examinations cause anxiety; that too competitive examinations. Do not worry, do your best

There are many opportunities in this country. Decide what you want to do in life and don't give it up

While appearing for exam, take time to read the paper, don't be in a rush

If student, parents, teachers and even seniors, work as a team and proceed in a planned manner, examinations become easier

Parents, teachers and seniors are an invaluable support system for students during exam time

JK Rowling is a brilliant example of how anyone can achieve success any time. She had to face many difficulties and failures

Please do not pressurize children. Keep the environment positive: PM Narendra Modi to parents

Curiosity is the mother of science. Innovation is not possible without science and technology

On National Science Day, let us resolve to make science and technology as an essential part of our lives

I bow before Sir CV Raman and appeal to you all to inculcate scientific temper

From tomorrow, if you give a missed call on 81908 81908, you can listen to my 'Mann Ki Baat', in your regional language

I have an exam too. 125 crore Indians are going to test me since the Union budget will be tabled tomorrow. I am confident.
