TCS welcomes you to be a part of its learning initiative for high school students – TCS InQuizitive!
TCS has been associated with quizzing for over two decades, which began with TCS IT Wiz, a 'knowledge Initiative' which kick-started in the year 1999, one of the biggest inter-school IT quizzes in India for students of class 8 - 12. As a technology enabler, TCS has consistently introduced initiatives that help young minds stay updated with the latest technological trends.
Our quizzing platforms have empowered schools and students in understanding this technological revolution through engaging questions, keeping them informed about the growing technological developments in various fields like science, sports, engineering, mathematics, and art.
Today, the quiz has become a national benchmark in the inter-school quizzing circuit, known for its rigorous research, intense competition and sheer participation numbers. The quiz has received immense patronage among the student community, teachers, parents, and educational institutions and has become a part of the agenda for schools across the country.
With this edition of TCS InQuizitive, this Game of Minds is bound to ignite curiosity, foster analytical thinking, and celebrate innovation among students, with each round offering a distinctive mental challenge, wrapped in immersive visuals and interactivity. The edition will travel across 12 cities (Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Indore, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur & Pune), unlocking one portal at a time, with every city completing a chapter, every round a cognitive mode, and every win a mission accomplished.
