Asking the students to follow their inner calling, he said: "There are innumerable opportunities that await our young exam warriors, who passed the CBSE Class XII exams. I urge them to follow their inner calling and pursue subjects they are passionate about. My best wishes for their future endeavours."
Encouraging students who are not happy with their results, Prime Minister Modi said: "Some students may not be happy with their results but they must know that one exam will never define who they are. I am certain they will find more success in times to come," he added.
