Loyola wins CSM Synapse 3.0 school quiz

Bhubaneswar: Loyola International School clinched the title at the third edition of CSM Synapse, Odisha’s premier inter-school quiz contest.

The duo of Purbasha Falguni and Pratyaksh Rastogi from Loyola outperformed five other zonal-winning teams in a fiercely competitive Grand Finale to take home the grand prize of Rs 50,000. This year’s competition marked an exciting mix of challenging questions, engaging games, thrilling surprises, and impressive rewards.

In the closely contested final, Pratyush Dhal and Ayan Senapati from DAV Unit VIII, Bhubaneswar, secured the runner-up position and were awarded a prize of Rs 25,000. Other finalists, including Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya (Berhampur), Indo English School (Rourkela), Delhi Public School (Paradip Refinery), and Deepika English Medium School (Rourkela), were honoured as zonal winners, each having shown exceptional knowledge and quizzing skills in their respective zones.

Lagna Panda, CHRO, and Pradyut Mohan Dash, CTO of CSM Tech, felicitated the winners and participants, expressing admiration for their performance. Manoj Kumar Patra, CFO of CSM Tech, welcomed and commended the participants.

The 2024 edition introduced an innovative two-tier structure, featuring three Zonal Quizzes in July, culminating in the Grand State Finale. This new format amplified the competition’s reach and intensity, providing participants with an even more challenging and rewarding experience. In this structure, the competition was split into two levels-the Zonal Quizzes and the Grand State Finale. The top two teams from each zonal round advanced to the finale.

CSM organizes Synapse each year in collaboration with Quizcraft Global led by Adityanath Mubayi, India’s ace quizmaster and head of research for the popular TV series ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’. This partnership has ensured world-class content and an engaging quizzing experience for all participants.
