Quizzing at MICA


When people talk about MICA the first thing that pops in the mind is creativity. MICA is all of creativity and more – it is also about knowledge, culture, sports and more fundamentally pursuing one’s passions in any field. Quizzing is one tradition in which MICA has had a very rich history.

What is quizzing? It is a test of one's knowledge across various streams and spheres. Students at MICA have always been avid quizzers. We believe it is not talked about nearly enough. There is a buzz created around events like Matki Phod, MICAnvas, Sankalp, however the quizzing aspect of MICA and its students just isn't displayed enough.

TATA Crucible is the biggest and most difficult business quiz our country has and Sania (Batch of 2012) and Kaushik (Batch of 2011) won it in the year 2010. There were 6 MICAn teams in the final.

We, the Literary Committee of MICA organize the MQC (MICA Quizzing Championship) in the first trimester of every academic year to attract the brightest quizzing minds in the incoming batch and see how they fare against the PGP-2 batch. The MQC consists of four preliminary quizzes (Brands, India, Literature and Sports and Entertainment), the top 6 teams of which qualify for the MEGA Quiz. All the quizzes of an extremely high standard and the turnout has been excellent. This exemplifies the quizzing pedigree and the vibrancy of the Mican quizzing culture.
