Both of these quizzes will be conducted by the Bombay Quiz club.The School quiz is aimed towards giving school children a taste of open competitive quizzing. The questions have been set by experienced Quizmasters and promises to be an enriching experience to all those who attend.
The Open General quiz  is open to everyone and while it will be a treat for those who have quizzed before, it is an ideal platform for the uninitiated to come and experience what quizzing is all about.

Both Quizzes will have a Prelims + Finals format. Teams of 2 for both quizzes.
