The Hindu Young World Quiz in Mangaluru on February 12

The 23rd edition of the multi-city event The Hindu Young World Quiz for students from Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts will be held at Bejai Church Hall, Lourdes Central School Campus, Bejai in Mangaluru on February 12.

Presented by the State Bank of India, the event will witness bright young minds vying for top honours. It is held in two categories — junior (from classes 4 to 6) and senior (from classes 7 to 9). The junior category participants have to report at 8.30 a.m., while the seniors may report at 12.30 p.m. at the venue. Spot registration is allowed in special cases.

Any number of students from an institution may compete in the event with a team comprising two. Entry is free. Six teams will be chosen for the final rounds the same day after an elimination round of written quiz. If many teams from the same institution qualify for the finals, only two such teams will be allowed for the finals. The winners will receive trophies and merit certificates from The Hindu and goodie bags from the sponsors. All the participants will receive participation certificates.
