Quiz & General Knowledge Competitions for Kids in India
Quiz competitions reward curiosity and quick recall across general knowledge, current affairs and school subjects, from class quizzes to national contests. WiWit lists 150 verified quiz & gk competitions in India from 100 organisations. They include options spanning Class 1–12, 49 available online, 46 free to enter. Last reviewed June 2026.
Quizzing is one of the most accessible competitive activities for children: it rewards broad reading and curiosity rather than a single talent, and it scales from a fun class round to fierce national finals. The listings here include general-knowledge and current-affairs quizzes, subject quizzes in science, maths and the humanities, and themed quizzes on everything from sport to space, for students of every class. Many run as written prelims followed by live quiz rounds. WiWit verifies each listing against its official source and shows the subject focus, mode and fee, so you can find a quiz that fits your child's class and interests and gives a well-read child a place to shine.
