The CBSE Heritage India Quiz is one of the enrichment activities initiated by the Board
with the objective of inculcating among the students interest and appreciation for the rich
heritage and diversity of our country. Started in the year 2001, it has been generating
tremendous enthusiasm among the student community. It is needless to say that it has been
the unstinted support and cooperation from schools that had enabled this success. The trend
needs to be continued and the schools are expected to participate with greater vigour in the
Heritage India Quiz to be conducted in the ensuing academic session 2010-11.
As in the previous years, the first edition of the CBSE Heritage India Quiz will start
from August 2010. Teams will be identified on the basis of their performance in the first
round of written preliminary quiz to be conducted in August, 2010. Each school will be
represented by three students forming a team who may be selected from classes IX to XII.
The written preliminary round will consist of multiple choice type questions in which
the correct answer has to be marked on the OMR answer sheet .The total of the scores

teams will participate in the Zonal Rounds which are proposed to be conducted in September
2010. This will be followed by the National Rounds featuring the Pre Finals amongst the
teams qualifying in the Zonal Rounds and the National Finals for the best teams emerging out
