The Indian Army is organizing a national quiz competition for classes 6 to 10 students which will be the first of its kind in India. The aim of this Indian Army Quiz initiative, which will be hybrid – online and offline quizzing – is to draw the attention of students in schools across India to the role of the Indian Army in national development and transformational change.

The target audience of this Quiz competition includes boys and girls school students in the age group of 10 to 16 years – which roughly corresponds to students in Standards 6 to 10 – from the 1.5 Lakhs schools in India where the language of instruction is English as the main or second language.

The initiative of this Indian Army Quiz 2023 is expected to reach approximately 1.5 crore students and their teachers and parents across the country, taking the total reach to approximately 4 crore at the national level. The format of this competition will be one team of 3+1 students per school with girl students represented in each team from co-educational schools. All APS Schools, Goodwill Schools Vidyanjali Schools, Regimental Schools, and other Army-affiliated schools will be nominated to participate in this quiz competition.

We expect at least 15,000 schools from across the country to participate. The Indian Army competition will be three-tier with an online preliminary round, followed by semi-finals and finals at the command level in each of the six Army Commands culminating in the finals at the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun on 3 December 2023.

The digital platforms currently in vogue will enhance engagement with students, teachers, and parents and traditional media platforms will provide credibility to support this Indian Army Competition initiative. All Schools across India will not be charged a fee to participate. In fact, the Army has a strong plan to give certificates to all the participating students and schools and give away several prizes for the winning teams at the command level and national finals.

The initiative of this quiz competition is supported by the Chief of Army Staff, AWWA, and the Adjutant General’s Branch and will see the active participation of the Army Welfare Education Society which oversees over 400 Army Public Schools in India.
