RESULTS – MahaQuizzer and AsiaSweep 2025

The KQA is delighted to announce the results of its national-level December quizzes—MahaQuizzer and AsiaSweep. This year, 241 quizzers took part in MahaQuizzer, while 101 teams participated in AsiaSweep.

MahaQuizzer, now into its twenties, has crowned a new champion—who is also in his twenties. Bengaluru’s Preetham Upadhya is the latest bearer of the MahaQuizzer title, finishing with an outstanding score of 86. Our heartiest congratulations to him!

2023 champion Jayakanthan (Chennai) finished close behind with 83, while last year’s winner, Mumbai’s Vinoo Sanjay, completed the podium with 81.

The ever-consistent Jayashree Jaykar Mohanka topped the Ladies’ category with 62, placing 25th in the overall list. Kolkata’s Kumar Kirti topped the College category with a creditable 48, securing a place in the national Top 50.

The top 16 finishers in MahaQuizzer qualify for MahaMahaQuizzer at our anniversary fest, AsKQAnce in June 2026.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned Preetham teamed up with Calvin Christ to successfully defend their AsiaSweep title, scoring 58 out of 85. Close on their heels were Rahul Kottalgi and Prithwish Datta in second place with 57, followed by Vinoo Sanjay and Abhinav Dasgupta, also on 57, taking third. AsiaSweep consisted of two sections of 35 and 50 points.

The KQA extends its gratitude to fellow quiz organisations, proctors, participants, and our question setters for helping make these events a success. We look forward to seeing you again in May for our next round of inter-city events.
