The quiz club was very active in the academic year 2014-2015. In the beginning of the year, on 30th of August, the club hosted its annual state-level inter-collegiate quiz competition ‘Q’. With over 100 participants, it was a worthy successor to the last year’s.
The Club organized quizzes in the academic year on a weekly basis. Students involved in the Club set quizzes in a wide variety of formats and learn not only how to quiz better but also how to set questions. This year, in tune with changing technology sessions were conducted on ‘Quizzing on Whatsapp’ as well as striking back to olden times, a session was also conducted on how to frame crosswords. Sesssions were conducted on Harry Potter, General Knowledge, Business, Cricket, Sports, Murders and Mysteries, Etymologies, Sit-coms etc. The Quiz Club also organized a special Environmental Law Quiz for the students of the IV year as an interactive way of learning. At the same time, the facebook group regularly has ex-students answering questions posted there, thus continuing their association with the college.
