Subject: Online Registration for CBSE Heritage India Quiz – 2011

Dear Principal,

The CBSE Heritage India Quiz is one of the enrichment activities initiated by the Board with
the objective of inculcating among the students interest and appreciation for the rich
heritage and diversity of our country. Started in the year 2001, it has been generating
tremendous enthusiasm among the student community. It is needless to say that it has been
the unstinted support and cooperation from schools that had enabled this success. The
trend needs to be continued and the schools are expected to participate with greater vigour
in the Heritage India Quiz to be conducted in the ensuing Academic Session 2011-12.

The Board is going to conduct the 1st round of CBSE Heritage India Quiz in August 2011 in
various cities of India and abroad. Team will be identified on the basis of their performance
in the first round of written preliminary quiz 2011. Each school will be represented by three
students forming a team who may be selected from classes IX to XII.

The written preliminary round will consist of multiple choice type questions in which the
correct answer has to be marked on the OMR answer sheet. The total of the scores obtained
by the three participants will be the marks scored by the team. The meritorious teams will
participate in the Zonal Rounds which are proposed to be conducted in September 2011.
This will be followed by the National Rounds featuring the Pre Finals amongst the teams
qualifying in the Zonal Rounds and the National Finals for the best teams emerging out of
the pre Finals. There are attractive prizes and trophies besides certificates instituted for
the winners.

The schools that are interested to participate in Heritage India Quiz – 2011 may register
online by entering their user-id (affiliation number) and password (same which they used for
online registration for Classes IX, X, XI and XII). After login, you are required to fill in
requisite details in the registration form generated online which will appear on the screen.
Please submit the registration form by clicking on the submit button. It may be noted here
that the details related to the name of the principal’s mobile number and choice of city can
be edited by the concerned school but after submission, the details once entered cannot be
changed. Take a print out of submitted registration form in A-4 size paper and attach a bank
draft of Rs. 600/- towards the registration fees drawn in favour of the “Secretary, CBSE,
Delhi”. The downloaded registration form duly signed by the principal of the school along
with the DD in original should be sent to “Smt. Sugandh Sharma, Education Officer
(Commerce), CBSE, 17, Rouse Avenue, Kotla Road, New Delhi – 110002” immediately by

reservation charges for three students and one school escort will be reimbursed to those,
who will be participating in the national round. Though, the last date of online registration
is 15th June 2011, schools are advised to register at the earliest possible, to avoid last
moment delay. You may contact over 011- 23220155 or sugandh.cbse@live.com for any
