The human mind is relentless in the pursuit of knowledge. This thirst for knowledge is what
drives his progress in any field. And of course, what format for the transfer of knowledge could be
as exciting, or as beautiful, as a quiz? Only through this format can you combine the nail biting
suspense, the sheer thrill of neurons firing off and the feverish search through millions of
thoughts, until you finally stumble upon that elusive detail, culminating in a Eureka moment of
pure happiness as you realize the answer.
Quizzing Commoners, established in 2009 by the quizzing enthusiasts of IIM Lucknow, aims to
ignite this spark of quizzing that exists in everyones heart. The major activities of the club
include Saturday Night Live, a series of informal quizzing sessions held throughout the year.
The club organizes the quizzing section for camaraderie-the event for introducing the first year
Students to IIML campus Life. The club also organizes quizzes at all major events at the IIML
Campus, such as the General Knowledge Quiz at Manfest, Cranium at Varchasva, Samvit, and
the Business Quiz at the Entrepreneurship summit. The formats for each of these quizzes vary,
and various themes such as business, entertainment, sports, literature are explored through
them.
Quizzing Commoners offers a lot to its participants and there are a lot of reasons to participate in
the quizzes:
Quizzing as a sport greatly enhances the inquisitiveness of students helping them explore a
wide range of topics.
It increases daily awareness and helps boost positive habits such as reading and
independent research.
Students are up to date in recent development across a large range of fields- the
requirement of the day is to be well informed.
It facilitates lateral thinking, by students presenting and answering questions in an irregular
format.
