We are very glad that TOSC gave us a chance to speak about

the competition. So, basically both the rounds comprised of
purely IQ based questions that were really well framed. The
robotics workshop was amazing. We got to learn amazing new
things there!
The trip to ISRO was no doubt best once in a life time trip for
me. We’d like to say that we are really impressed by the
students who organized and managed the events so well.
Overall it was great to be a part of TOSC.

3rd rank, pool ‘A’
Techkriti Open School Championship is one of the best competition I have ever given in
my life. It was something which I have never expected and never experienced before.
So there were some riddles that we were given to solve and we could even use the
Internet. We were given a campus tour which helped us to see one of the best airstrips
out there in the country. Aher that, the robotics workshop was also quite good. As a
prize, we were taken to ISRO satellite centre in Bangalore and let me tell you it was a
dream come true. We even got to see Chandrayan gefing built in front of me. So,
needless to say it has been a great journey throughout the TOSC journey.
