Heritage India Quiz 2008 regional and national finals are coming up soon, so I thought it’s the best time to put up some resources related to it. First is a relatively simple stuff that Hindustan Times published (click on the image to view full size version).
The second is the Heritage India Quiz prelims database that me and some other DPS VK Quiz Club members compiled. It contains questions from the past few years of the Heritage India Quiz prelims. Not all of the questions are answered, but this should regardless be helpful for the prelims since HIQ repeats a lot of questions in the prelims. The database is an OpenOffice.org database; to open the file you need the free OpenOffice.org office suite which you can download from here. Use the ‘Form’ view for easier viewing.
About the regional / national final levels. A lot of it is audio-visual, so be prepared for those kind of questions. I kinda think that the Penguin India Quiz Book series is quite useful for this particular quiz because in it you’ll find the sort of questions which come at HIQ. The earlier editions of the series, that is.

it would help if u got hold of the questions frm the finals….quizcraft guys dont make the written rounds.
n yes….the questions in the PRELIMS are repeated a lot of times. that’s why i only do the previous year’s written papers before the prelims.
the finals are easy/hard…depends. we missed out last year by a whisker.
waiting earnestly to meet DPS VK at new state academy….:p
@Agrim: Ah, don’t have questions from the finals. 😐 Prelims are predictable though.
these guys(quizcraft) come to host the Amity HIQ……;)
@Agrim: Dude, your school must be spending a lot – and taking quizzing seriously – to hire Quizcraft. They’re really expensive!
@ankur and agrim:
In this regard, our school’s rather lucky!!!
@Chirag: Yup. You get Quizcraft to do the quiz for free.
@ankur : may i correct myself. with lucky i didn’t necessarily mean free but at a concessional fee…
@Chirag: Practically free. Bet you guys don’t pay a lot – and most of it anyway goes in organization / prizes.
@ Chirag – Yes your school is pretty lucky in that aspect 😉
