MahaQuizzer 2022 – Results & Rankings

The results of the 17th edition of MahaQuizzer are below.

Nearly 300 people took Mahaquizzer, braving Covid fears.  This edition also saw the century mark being topped for the first time; this was done by four quizzers from different cities.

However, the winner is a familiar name: Vinoo Sanjay of Mumbai has won the title of Mahaquizzer with a score of 110, the highest in the competition’s history. He is also the first four-time winner. Our congratulations to him.

The next three on the list are Suraj Menon (107, Pune), Sachin Deshpande (104, Bangalore), and Jayakanthan (103, Chennai). The highest-scoring woman is 2012 champ Jayashree Jayakar Mohanka, who finished eighth with 97.

The five highest scorers in Bangalore were Sachin Deshpande, Rahul Kottalgi (98), Santosh Swaminathan (98), Thejaswi Udupa (97), and Praveen Kumar VR (95).

The winner of the Junior section was Bharath Krishna from Thrissur, with a score of 27. We hope to see more school turnout in the coming years.

The winners will be given the trophies at Askqance 2023, which will be held in June. We thank all our quiz setters, proctors, and fellow quizzing organisations for making this edition a success. We’ll see you again in December 2023.

NOTE: We are yet to receive scores from Bhubaneswar and Dibrugarh.
