Description:
For over three decades, the Columban Open Quiz has been a cherished tradition at St. Columba's School. This year's event, held on the 26th and 27th of July, continued this legacy with great flair and enthusiasm. Despite the inclement weather and water-logging from incessant rain across the capital on 26th July, more than 400 students from 42 schools eagerly arrived, albeit a slight delay, to participate in this grand event.
The quiz was expertly conducted over the two days by the respected and loved Quiz Master Major Chandrakanth Nair, who engaged the participants with a series of intriguing and thought-provoking questions. From the heated Preliminary Round, where 102 teams competed, only 16 advanced to the intense Semi-Finals. Ultimately, the top 8 teams battled it out in the explosive Final Round.
COQ 2024 was generously sponsored by the Batch of 2002, including Mr. Vishrov Mukherjee, Mr. Nishant Nigam, Mr. Karan Kalra, and Mr. Angad Singh Sawhney.
The coveted first place and cash prize of Rs. 8000/- was claimed by the team from St. Xavier's Senior Secondary School. The second place and cash prize of Rs. 6000/- went to the team from Delhi Public School, Noida, while the third place and cash prize of Rs. 4000/- was secured by Delhi Public School, Vasant Kunj.
