The Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR) is excited to announce the 6th edition of ConQuest: India’s Premiere National Quiz on the Indian Constitution, History and Politics.
Since its first edition in 2016, ConQuest has become the largest quiz and educational activity that celebrates India’s constitutional history and politics. The 2022 edition returns in-person after a 3-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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.
