ISRO Invites Applications from Schools Students for Virtual Quiz Competition, Participation Certificates to be Given

ISRO is currently accepting applications from school students from classes 8 to 12 for a virtual quiz competition being organised as part of World Space Week. The competition is being conducted by ISRO centres Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, and ISRO Inertial Systems Unit. Interested students may register for the competition free of cost, and only individual participation will be allowed. The theme of the quiz program will be “space”.

Confirmation of the participant will be done after verification of the authorization letter from the Head of the institution, and wrong or incomplete entries are liable to be screened out, says the official website. The quiz competition will be conducted in three rounds that include prelims, semi-finals, and finals. Prelims will contain multiple-choice questions, and the top 32 participants from prelims will proceed to the semi-finals. Two toppers from each semi-final will proceed to the finals, and a total of 8 participants will compete for the top spot through the WebEx platform. All the participants will be provided with e-certificates through the registered Gmail Ids, and winners of the finals will be awarded exciting prizes.

Important Guidelines of the ISRO Quiz Competition for School Students

Interested students will have to keep the following important guidelines in mind about the ISRO Quiz Competition:
