October 15, 2024
The Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR) is excited to announce the 8th edition of ConQuest: India’s Premiere National Quiz on the Indian Constitution, History and Politics.

 

Since its first edition in 2016, ConQuest has grown to become the largest quiz and educational activity that celebrates India’s constitutional history and politics. ConQuest 2023 was a resounding success, drawing the attention of the Karnataka State Government, which joined us as a partner. We were subsequently commissioned to organize a state-level version of ConQuest for students across 833 government schools in Karnataka.

 

2024 is a special year for ConQuest, as India celebrates the 75th year of its Constitution. ConQuest 2024 offers a unique platform to celebrate this milestone by engaging students across India with a quiz that explores the Constitution in a meaningful and exciting format. The Quiz will dive into the key events, people, and moments that shaped the Constitution and its post-1950 journey.

 

ConQuest encourages undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines including natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, humanities, and law to engage with the Indian Constitution, law, politics, history and current affairs. These include bachelor’s and master’s students. M.Phil and PhD students are not allowed to participate, but are welcome as audience members for their respective regional rounds and/or the National final round.
