The quiz club was extremely active in the academic year 2015-2016.
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 constantly changing the club experience, sessions were conducted in line with the game of ‘Taboo’. Sessions were conducted on Harry Potter, General Knowledge, Movies, The Year of 2015, Sports, Sit-coms etc. At the same time, the facebook group regularly has ex-students answering questions posted there, thus continuing their association with the college.
