RESULTS – MahaQuizzer 2024
A total of 252 quizzers attempted MahaQuizzer this year.
The winner, for a barely believable fifth time, is Vinoo Sanjay from Mumbai. Vinoo reclaims his title with a score of 80 points out of 150.
Two quizzers tied for 77, but in the end, youth beat out experience. Ravi Mundoli (Chennai) pips ahead of Preetham Upadhya (Bengaluru) on stars. The defending champion, Jayakanthan, finishes fourth with 76 points.
A new entrant into the top ten is also comfortably its youngest. Calvin Christ finishes with 70 points in sixth place. He will celebrate it with a bottle of champagne when he is old enough to.
Two other former MQ champions, Dr Arul Mani and Shouvik Guha (Kolkata), round off the top ten with 65 points. Another former champ, Jayashree Jaykar Mohanka (Kolkata), was the highest-scoring woman, with 59.
The top 16 automatically qualify for Mahamahaquizzer at AsKQAnce 2025.
The KQA thanks all quizzing communities and proctors who helped conduct MQ smoothly.
The Q&A can be found here.
MahaQuizzer 2024 was set by Sachin Deshpande, Santosh J Swaminathan, Sreyashi Dastidar, Sujata Sharma, and Venkataraman R.
See you in 2025!

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!
**Jan 19 update: There are small changes in the rankings. We had left out the ‘total stars’ column in our earlier list.
**Feb 3 update: There have been changes in School top 10 rankings. Kochi scores were not updated.

Announcement of Mahaquizzer & Asiasweep 2019
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 Sunday, 8th December 2019.
We are introducing something new to MahaQuizzer this year. The open set will consist of 150 questions to be attempted over 90 minutes, off a printed paper. However, there is another set of 75 questions, a Junior version if you will, to be taken over the 90 minutes, that is exclusively for school children. We hope to encourage a younger generation to the pain of hit-and-miss that all MQ takers are only too familiar with. More details on this over the next week.
MQ will be set by a team consisting of Debashree Mitra, Sreyashi Dastidar, Movin Miranda, Nishanth Raman and Venkataraman Ravindra.
AsiaSweep will consist of around 75 questions (to be read off a ppt) and is open to teams of a maximum of two people. Solo participants are also welcome. The quiz is being set by Dr Arul Mani, Nagaratna Patil, Sujata Sharma, Urmila Lakshmanan and Dibyendu Das.
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 3pm.
The person recording the highest score in MQ across all centres will hold the title of MahaQuizzer for 2019. 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 2020. We will publish the MQ schools ranking list separately.
AsiaSweep is open to teams of two members, irrespective of age or other affiliations. Solo participants are also welcome to try their luck. A projector will be required to conduct AsiaSweep.
If you are interested in hosting MahaQuizzer or AsiaSweep (or both) in your city, please email Hrishikesh Varma or Dr. Arul Mani.
We will open registrations for MahaQuizzer and AsiaSweep in a few days’ time, once host cities and venues have been confirmed. Check back here in a few days time!
