The team has covered all current awareness questions relevant to Environment awareness. Through E Quiz can spread-out across an expansive geographic area, an online quiz makes it possible to give everyone the same quizzing experience despite location. It also eliminates the expense of administering paper-based quizzes (think printing, scoring, delivering, and collecting). Online quizzes often allow you to create a question bank, randomise the questions and answers that are displayed. Trying to manage all of this with hard-copy quizzes would be a nightmare. More than 380 participants from various universities and colleges from PAN India participated in E-Quiz organised by School of Agricultural Sciences, DKNMU and secured marks according to performance. The event was successfully organised by Dr. Gunnjeet Kaur (Coordinator), Mr. Hutesh Sharma (Sub-Coordinator) and Mr. Dileep Gupta (Organising Secretary).
