FIITJEE Organizes Inter-School Science Quiz at ESYA’15 at IIITD
New Delhi, 2015: FIITJEE
Punjabi Bagh Centre, in association with ESYA’15 (the tech fest of
Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi), organized an
Inter-School Science Quiz competition – EUREKA, for the students of
Class IX and X of Delhi. The venue of the competition was the IIIT,
Delhi campus. A number of prizes worth Rs. 8000 were on offer for the
students, along with certificates for the winners and participants.
The
quiz competition was organized in 3 stages. Stage 1 was a written test
on questions in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. Top 15
teams were selected based on their performances. The test consisted of
multiple choice questions each fetching 4 marks for correct answer and a
negative of 1 mark for every question wrongly attempted. A written
subjective test on questions in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and
Biology was conducted in stage 2. Top 8 teams were selected based on
their performance. This round had 5 marks for every correct answer.
Marking was done in step-by-step manner and no negative marking was
done.
The 3rd and
final stage had a verbal quiz competition on questions in Physics,
Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. It had 4 rounds of questions with
varied difficulty levels and marking schemes. Students were primarily
tested on their IQ, logical, and reasoning ability in these subjects.
Students were able to brush up on the important topics and learnt the virtues of patience and team spirit. Saksham
Rastogi of Venkatasharam International School and Shubhang of Modern
School, Barakhamba Road were declared the winners while Piyush and Ish
Kaul of DPS, Vasantkunj were the 1st runners-up. The 2nd runners-up were Tanish Kapur and Parth Raina of DPS, Vasantkunj.
The
quiz proved to be a great learning experience for the students who are
soon to enter class X & XI respectively opting for science streams
in senior classes (ie engineering or medical). The quiz competition saw
questions being asked on a variety of topics, which are important from
board as well as competition point of view. A question, which was
unanswered by the team it was meant for, was passed on to the next teams
till the time the correct answer was obtained. It was further passed on
to the audience as well. A brief discussion of concepts was also there
for students to have better clarity.
Mr Samiran Datta, CEO of FIITJEE Punjabi Bagh Centre was
also present at the venue and said, “Students in class IX are eligible
to appear in key competitive exams like Junior Science Olympiad and
JSTSE while students in Class X are eligible to appear in Junior Science
Olympiad and NTSE; for them it was a great learning experience ahead of
such competitive exams wherein they would be essentially tested on
their IQ & reasoning skills along with application of concepts based
approach towards problem solving”
