MahaQuizzer and AsiaSweep 2024

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 December 8, 2024 (Sunday).

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 and Junior MahaQuizzer – the results

The results of the 16th edition of MahaQuizzer and the inaugural edition of Junior MahaQuizzer are below. Unfortunately, we are yet to receive scores from some centres, and we will update the scores as and when we do.

323 people took Mahaquizzer, and more than a 100 attempted the Junior version. We hope to see more takers, young and old, in the coming years.

The winner of the inaugural edition of Junior Mahaquizzer, with a score of 38, is Antara Bhattacharya, from Mumbai.  Yeldho Shem from Kochi finished second with 34, and Ananya G Upadhya from Bangalore finished third with 33 points.

It is well known that when Usain Bolt turned up for a race, the other runners had three options – Best case: Bolt pulls a muscle. Worst case: they finish with a PB. This year’s MahaQuizzer winner, although not exactly a fast mover like the aforesaid Bolt, is a passable quizzer himself. Dr. Arul Mani, with a score of 99, is the MahaQuizzer for 2019.

This is his third time as the title-holder, and he matches his own record of the highest ever score. He joins Anustup Datta and Vinoo Sanjay as three-time winners.

The next three in the list are also previous MahaQuizzers: Thejaswi Udupa, Rahul Kottalgi, Vinoo Sanjay. Preetham Upadhya, Bangalore’s very own Boy Wonder, is the College topper, finishing with 84 and at #11 in the overall list. The highest scorer among women was Jayashree Jayakar Mohanka, a previous winner. She finished with 79.

The winners will be given the trophies at Askqance 2020, which will be held in June.

We also thank all our proctors and fellow quizzing organisations for making this edition a success. See you in December!
