Tata Crucible is a knowledge initiative by the Tata Group and provides a platform for bright young minds across the country to showcase their impeccable knowledge.
Tata Crucible quiz evolved into an online format in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic.
To ensure fair play in the online format, the Tata Crucible quiz has implemented various protocols including in terms of format, self-declaration by finalists, proctored monitoring at select Finals and so on.
These mechanisms have ensured that the quiz continues to be fair and transparent even in the online format and such mechanisms will be implemented in this edition as well.
For the online version of the Campus Quiz, the country has been divided into 24 clusters and after two levels of online prelims, the top 12 finalists from each cluster will be invited for wild card finals out of which the top 6 finalists will then compete in the 24 online cluster finals.
These 24 clusters are further grouped into four zones- south, east, west and north and each zone will comprise six clusters.
The winner from each of the cluster finals will then qualify for the zonal finals.
The winners and runners-up at the cluster finals will receive prizes of Rs 35,000 and Rs 18,000 respectively.
Noted quizmaster Giri Balasubramaniam, Pickbrain’, who has been conducting the quiz right from its genesis, will continue to be the quizmaster for this edition too.
