Modi to take up exam issues on 'Mann Ki Baat'

Last Updated 09 February 2015, 20:37 IST

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will share his thoughts with students preparing for board examination and competitive examinations in his next ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio programme.

This comes days after Modi held a joint radio address with US President Barack Obama in a special episode of ‘Mann Ki Baat’. “Was thinking about this month’s radio prog & thought (sic)...why not share ‘Mann Ki Baat’ with students preparing for board & competitive exams,” he tweeted on Monday.

While the central board of secondary education is set to hold Class X and XII board examinations from March 2, the Council of Indian School Certificate Examinations (CICSE) began Indian School Certificate (ISC) board exams for Class XII from Monday. The CICSE will start Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) examination for Class X from February 26.

The Central Board of Secondary Education  (CBSE) has also announced schedules of the Joint Entrance Examination-Main (JEE-Main), conducted to select students for admissions to the centrally funded technical institutes like national Institutes of Technology.

The test is scheduled to be conducted on April 4 in offline mode while on April 10 and April 11 in online mode.

The Joint Admission Board of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) will later conduct JEE-Advance on May 24 to select candidates for admissions to the 15 premier technical institutes as well as Indian School of Mines Dhanbad.  Announcing the topic of his next radio programme likely to be aired this month, Modi has invited students, parents and teachers to write to him to share their examination experiences with him.

“I urge students, parents and teachers to share exam experiences that would inspire youngsters and even motivate them in exam preparation. Like always, I will share some of your thoughts, inputs and anecdotes during the programme. Do share them here,” he tweeted.

With the Prime Minister announcing the topic of his next programme, suggestions and request from netizens, specially students, began pouring in at the mygov.in, an official web portal of the Centre to crowdsource ideas on governance and policy matters.
