CSM Synapse 4.0 - School Quiz

CSM Tech

Students! Are you ready to outsmart the rest in the most awaited battle of brains – CSM Synapse 4.0?

We’re back with the fourth edition of CSM Synapse – bigger, bolder, and more brilliant! Organized by CSM Tech, this renowned knowledge fest continues its partnership with Quizcraft Global Knowledge Solutions, led by India’s ace quizmaster Mr. Adittya Nath Mubayi. With a legacy of hosting over 5000 quizzes globally and contributing to iconic shows like Kaun Banega Crorepati and BBC Mastermind, Mr. Mubayi returns to host Synapse once again.

This year, Synapse 4.0 will unfold in two exciting stages: Zonal Quizzes and a Grand State Finale.

Zonal Quizzes:

Schools in each zone will be invited to nominate 4 teams of 2 students each from Classes 7 to 10. Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. On the quiz day, teams will be required to report to a centrally located venue.

All registered teams will first participate in the Zonal Preliminary Quiz, comprising 20 screen-based questions that will be clearly explained by the quizmaster. Answer sheets will be collected and evaluated on-site to shortlist the top 6 high-scoring school teams.

These 6 teams will then advance to the Zonal Final, held on stage the same day. This round will include diverse and engaging formats such as audio-visual questions, progressive clues, and multiple-choice challenges—designed to both challenge and entertain the students.

From each zone, the top 2 teams (Winners and Runners-Up) will qualify for the Grand State Finale.

Grand State Finale:

A total of 6 finalist teams (top 2 from each zone) will gather in Bhubaneswar to compete in the Grand State Finale. Each team, along with their accompanying teacher(s), will be invited to attend this prestigious event. 

Detailed guidelines including venue, schedule, and event protocol will be shared with the finalist schools ahead of the finale.

The Grand State Finale promises to be a high-energy, multimedia quiz showdown with immersive formats, challenging participants to display their awareness, analytical thinking, and collaborative skills before a live audience of peers and guests.

The team with the highest score will be crowned the CSM SYNAPSE 2025 Champion.
