UGC urges students to create accounts on isroquiz.mygov.in to participate in Chandrayaan-3 quiz

NEW DELHI: The University Grants Commission (UGC) informed students to create individual accounts on isroquiz.mygov.in to participate in the Chandrayaan-3 maha quiz. The quiz was launched with an aim to spark curiosity among students on India’s first successful lunar mission exploration.

The ministry of education and NCERT recently launched Apna Chandrayaan portal bharatonthemoon.ncert.gov.in. The website has special courses modules on Chandrayaan

“To participate in Chandrayaan-3 Quiz, students may visit https://isroquiz.mygov.in/ and create an individual account by clicking on 'Participate Now" and fill in the requisite details. Once the quiz is attempted, all participants will receive a participation certificate with there being provisions for cash prizes as well,” the statutory body said.

“Given the pivotal role played by HEIS in knowledge creation, enrichment and dissemination, all HEIS are requested to promote the portal and the special courses designed to make information related to the Chandrayaan mission accessible, fun and interactive,” the letter addressed to all principals of the higher educational institutions read.

The UGC requested all universities and colleges to encourage students to actively engage and enhance their knowledge about the country's lunar mission.

Further, it urged the higher education institutions to give wide publicity to the Chandrayaan quiz and asked to place the "Apna Chandrayaan" portal details on notice, or bulletin board, in-house magazine, official website and social media handles of the institutions.
