Pounce: The Quiz Club

The Quiz Club of IIM Indore is responsible for all the non-academic quizzing that happens on campus. IIM Indore has traditionally had a very good quizzing culture and the Quiz Club always looks to sustain and then build on that. This is done by constantly having quizzes on a variety of topics thus involving as many participants as possible in the events. The Quiz Club also encourages maximum participation from the institution in inter-institute quiz competitions that happen throughout the year like BT-Acumen, Tata Crucible, Nihilanth, etc. The quizzers from IIM Indore have a tradition of being the winners of the regional finals of TATA Crucible for 3 years in a row.

The quizzes that are conducted on campus cover a wide range of topics including, but not confined to, general knowledge, sports, entertainment, business and technology, geography among others. This is also a reflection of the diversity of interests in the various batches that have passed through the institute. The Quiz Club also encourages participants to try their hand at being quizmasters by inviting them to conduct small informal quizzes on a topic of their choice. The Quiz Club also plays an active part in organizing and conducting quizzes during Ahvan and Mridang, the annual management and cultural festivals of IIM Indore.

Nihilanth: A true reflection of the quizzing culture at IIM-Indore lies in its conception of Nihilanth, the annual inter IIT-IIM quiz festival. Started in 2003, this was IIM-Indore’s way of bringing the quizzing talents from all the IITs and the IIMs under one roof, thus creating a one of a kind environment where the best technical and managerial minds of the country come together.
