Quizzing as a concept goes well beyond giving correct answers for questions. Its most important aspect is learning new things about the world and developing the curiosity to learn. Moreover, quizzes are also a great source of essential 21st century skill development.
To celebrate the spirit of learning and quizzing, SkillSphere Education organized the All India Global Jigyasa Quiz (AIGJQ) recently. Conducted for students of Grades V to VIII, AIGJQ 2021 is India’s largest online inter-school quiz competition in the age category. It witnessed participation from 1500+ students belonging to over 215 schools and 45 cities across India.
Starting off with a preliminary round, AIGJQ 2021 then moved to live studio rounds which included pre-quarters, quarters, semis and a grand finale. The studio rounds were streamed live on SkillSphere Education’s Facebook page and were viewed by over 50000 individuals, receiving over 15000 engagements. The quiz contest was truly a grand spectacle that provided individuals of all age groups with an opportunity to enlighten themselves about different global, national, social and GK topics.
With innovative rounds and never seen before quiz formats that tested a range of skills among participants, AIGJQ 2021 kept everyone glued throughout its duration. Participating students also received quiz training videos, practice quiz question banks and access to SkillSphere Education’s Global Jigyasa app to make the process more enriching.

More than answering different questions, at SkillSphere we are interested in building the Jigyasa or curiosity to learn among students.
