MAHAQUIZZER 2023 – RESULTS & RANKINGS

The results of the 18th edition of MahaQuizzer are below. Nearly 300 people took Mahaquizzer.

Jayakanthan of Chennai has won the title of MahaQuizzer with a score of 112, the highest in the competition’s history. This is his first title. Our congratulations to him.

Two former champions also reached the century score: Vinoo Sanjay (100 (12*), Mumbai), and Rahul Kottalgi (100 (9*), Bengaluru). The highest-scoring woman is 2012 champ Jayashree Jayakar Mohanka, who made 79.

The next four highest scorers in Bengaluru were Thejaswi Udupa (94), Santosh Swaminathan (92), Achyuth Sanjay (88) and Anustup Datta (83).

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we did not receive the answer sheets from Delhi. They are presented as we received them. We are yet to receive scores from Siliguri and Raiganj. Scores will be updated if we receive them.

The top sixteen players also qualify for Mahamahaquizzer 2024. The winners will be given the trophy at AsKQAnce 2024, which will be held in June 2024.

We thank all our quiz setters, proctors, and fellow quizzing organisations for making this edition a success.

We’ll see you again in December 2024.

MahaQuizzer & AsiaSweep 2023

The Karnataka Quiz Association will be conducting MahaQuizzer, the National Solo Quizzing Championship, and AsiaSweep, the Arun Veembur Memorial Quiz on all things Asian, on 10 December 2023 (Sunday).

MahaQuizzer will consist of 150 questions to be attempted over 90 minutes, off a printed paper. Mahaquizzer will be set by a team comprised of Debashree Mitra, Sachin Deshpande, Sreyashi Dastidar, Sujata Sharma, and Venkataraman R.

MahaQuizzer is open to individual entrants, irrespective of age or other affiliations. The person recording the highest score across all centres will hold the title of Mahaquizzer for 2023. She/he will also be awarded the Wing Commander G.R. Mulky Trophy for Quizzing Excellence. This trophy will be presented during ASKQANCE, the KQA Anniversary Open Quiz Festival scheduled for June 2024.

AsiaSweep is open to teams of two members, irrespective of age or other affiliations. Solo participants are also welcome to try their luck.

We look forward to your cooperation in conducting another successful edition of these quizzes. We will require a proctor at each centre to conduct the quizzes. Please nominate one/two person(s) for this responsibility. We will send the question paper to the proctor(s) a few days before the quiz. The proctor will need to take copies of the question paper as per the number of participants in each centre. Kindly announce news of the quiz in your respective quiz groups as soon as possible.

Mahaquizzer will be held in all cities from 10:30 am to 12 noon. Reporting time for participants will be 10:00 AM. AsiaSweep will start at 3 pm.

Prior registration is essential. Go here to register for Mahaquizzer, and here for AsiaSweep. If you would like to host either event in your city, please email kqaquizzes@gmail.com.

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.
