H & Stores wholeheartedly welcome and invite the participation of schools across the state of Kerala for the H & C All Kerala Quiz Competition 2026-27
Eligibility
Students of classes 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Competition Format
All Government, Aided, Private, CBSE, and ICSE school students can participate under the banner of the school without registration fees. The medium of the competition, including that of the written test, will be English. The written tests, in both the zonal and school \evels, will have Multiple Choice Questions alone. Any number of willing students are welcome to participate in the first level.
The schools interested in participating must inform the organizing committee of their interest via e-mail (helphandc@gmail.com). The e-mail should include the total number of participants in the school-level written test, from each class. This is required for arranging the adequate number of Quiz booklets to reach the school prior to the date of the test.
School-Level: The first level of the competition will be conducted in the respective schools as a written test. The duration of the test will be 1 hour. The four top scorers from each grade - 6, 7 & 8 will be selected from the participating schools. These students will then be arranged into 6 teams of two members each, i.e., two teams representing each grade. They shall be the participants in the zonal-level contest.
At the school-level competition, we would like the schools to evaluate the answered Quiz booklets (The answer key for the same will be shared with the schools) after the exam and send the details of the winners from each class. Also, we would like to get a detailed list of students who have scored more than 80% in the written test. We intend to honour them with certificates.
