JAMMU, Oct 6: KC Publisc School today organised Mega Quiz event in which seventeen CBSE affiliated schools participated.
The contest was held on the huge outdoor stage of the School. Nearly 600 students of host school and participating schools formed the responsive audience who cheered their school teams with aplomb and applause.
The quiz began with an Innings round in which all the 12 teams selected to make the quiz panel through a written screening test answering four questions each as parts of four pools containing three teams each.
At the end of this round, one team from each pool got eliminated on the basis of lowest score. The remaining eight teams then moved on to the quarter-final stage with only two teams in each pool. After answering four questions each at this stage, four teams made it to the semi-finals on the basis of their higher score.
The race for the final stage turned with the degree of difficulty in the questions rising several notches higher. Eventually, APS Nagrota and Presentation Convent School made it to the finals. In a highly charged atmosphere, the finalists vied with each other in getting the right answer and, in the long run Ayush Sharma and Dheeraj Kumar of APS Nagrota emerged quizzing champions of the Inaugural Edition of Quiz-Zone 2012.
Principal, KC Law College, Prof Ganai, who was the chief guest on the occasion, distributed awards to the winners and participants.
