Quizzes

IIT-Madras has been the Mecca of quizzing in India for a while now, and Saarang has seen its significant share of mind-blowing quizzing over the years. This group of events caters to everyone who remembers anything about anything else; you can be sure that ‘anything’ will be a question in one of our quizzes. Even if you do not remember anything, you’ll be able to work it out as you go. Because we believe, that quizzing should be for all. While there are three quizzes which are team events and cover a range of specialist topics, the Saarang Lonewolf is a one-person quiz covering the entire gamut of topics under the sun. So, read the newspapers from now till Saarang, and we’ll see you at the prelims.

Biz Quiz – The ‘Biz’ part of the quiz is not about the topics alone, but the format itself. With everyone currently all knowledgeable about the markets and economies, see if you’ll last ‘long’ or come up ‘short’.

SpEnt Quiz – No this is not about how much your girlfriend spent the last time you took her shopping. But it might be about how much Yuvraj Singh’s girlfriend did. SpEnt stands for Sports+Entertainment. All else is self-explanatory.

Saarang Lonewolf – To put it simply, this is the highest point of quizzing in India. Miss it at your own peril!

India Quiz – Yes, we have a separate quiz dedicated just to India, and all things related to India, and Indians. Which means Elizabeth Hurley is a possible answer.
