Flagship Events:

Atharv Ranbhoomi proudly presents its four flagship events, each representing a pinnacle of excellence.

The Pi-Quiz:

Through The Pi-Quiz (TPQ), a national talent hunt divided into two pools—one for students of classes IX to XII and another for classes VI to VIII—Atharv Ranbhoomi welcomes young champions from across the country. TPQ not only seeks out some of the nation’s brightest minds and their innovative ideas but also supports underprivileged children by organising scholarship exams. After an intense preliminary round of shortlisting, quiz finalists are invited to IIM Indore to compete with national-level contenders. Through critical thinking and analytical challenges, participants are exposed to the intellectual rigor that IIM Indore upholds.
