This year's PPC will take place on January 27th at the Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi and will focus on preparing students to face board and competitive exams with confidence.

Addressing a press conference, the Education Minister said, "Total of 38 lakh participants have registered for PPC 2023 and almost 16 lakh students of them are from state board this year. To make the PPC 2023 a national-level event, 102 students from across the country will represent different states in the event. 80 finalists from NCERT's Kala Utsav will also be present on the occasion."

Pradhan said that the ministry has received almost 20 lakh questions which are being analysed by NCERT.

"Students will be a part of the January 26 parade at India Gate, will be engaged in Pareeksha pe Charcha on Jan 27 and will visit the Kartavya path, war memorial, Rajghat, Atal Samadhi Sthal and PMO on Jan 28. They will be our guests for beating the retreat on Jan 29," he said.
