September 09, 2014. Bengaluru: SwedenIndia Nobel Memorial Quiz, will host its third qualifier round of the 10-city annual intercollegiate quiz competition in Bengaluru on September 12, 2014 at R V College of Engineering at 01:00 pm. The competition, which is a part of The Sweden India Nobel Memorial Week is organised by The Embassy of Sweden and Swedish industry in India.
The registrations are open to all students till the 12th of September at the venue or website.
The competition increases its footprint further this year and takes place in Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune over the month of September to culminate in the national finals in New Delhi.
Winners from Bengaluru will compete for the National championship with finalists from the other cities to win an all-expenses paid trip to Sweden, where they will get to visit headquarters of global Swedish companies, SwedishUniversities and the NobelMuseum among other things.
In an endeavour to make the Quiz bigger and better and to build up the excitement in advance a few new elements have been introduced:
- Official Quiz Trailers, through Question of the Day on www.facebook.com/swedeninindia.
- Weekly Quizzes and Downloadable Quizzes on www.justquizz.com, which can be used as practice sessions, since there will be questions from here in the Preliminary Rounds at the venues.Participants
stand a chance to win prizes and feature on a Leaderboard that would facilitate self-assessment.
- The rules of the quiz have been amended this time around to ensure greater democratisation of the process. Students will be allowed to participate only in their own city. Only if prelims are not happening in the home city, will a team be allowed to participate in the nearest VenueCity. A team will be allowed to participate in a Live Round (prelim) only ONCE. This ensures a level playing field and will also ensure that the team that wins in a certain city actually represents that city!
This year the quiz will be conducted for the first time by Kunal Savarkar, a mastermind semi-finalist and Content Editor for KaunBanegaCrorepati.
The Quiz is one of the activities of the Sweden India Nobel Memorial Week which targets students. Other activities include lectures, seminars and round tables, exhibitions and cultural performances.
