The Manupatra National Law School Quiz | 3rd Edition

The National Law School Quiz Club is organising the 3rd edition of the Manupatra National Law School Quiz from 22nd-23rd March, 2025 at National Law School of India University, Bengaluru.

Introduction and History

NLSIU has had a decorated quizzing legacy, having been on the participating and organising ends of quizzing since the 1990s. In 2024, for the first time, an independent quizzing collective (the NLS Quiz Club, fondly known as QC) was formed with the intention of promoting and improving quizzing at NLSIU. Its flagship event comes in the form of the NLS Quiz, an annual festival with two days of intense quizzing.

Event Details

The event comprises 5 main quizzes, revolving around a variety of themes. These are:

1. Major’s General Quiz by Major Chandrakant Nair – a quiz on anything under the sun, hosted by one of the most popular QMs in India.
2. FLAMES Quiz by Swapnil Das – hosted by one of our own, this quiz covers themes such as food, literature, art, music, entertainment and sports.
3. Passports, Out! Around the World in TBD Qs – hosted by our alumni Varun Rajiv and Atulaa Krishnamurthy who had successful college quizzing careers in their time, this quiz takes participants around the globe with questions on history, geography, and culture.
