| The best quizzing teams from
top university colleges will vie for top honours in a head-to-head
challenge with each other over 27 programmes. The challenge will aim
at searching the brightest and the best-informed college students
in the country and will cover the gamut of sports, theatre, technology,
industries, film, music, dance, science & medicine, television,
advertising, art & literature, destinations, cuisine and many
other areas. The show will be similar to the one that has been successfully
running in UK for the past 40 years.
The nationwide hunt for the best college teams starts with BBC
World calling for entries from prestigious colleges across India.
To take up this challenge college teams could register and download
forms by visiting ww.universitychallenge@funtoo.com.
Commenting on the new programme initiative, BBC World commissioning
editor Narendhra Morar was quoted as saying: "With popular
quiz shows like Mastermind India, BBC World has always prided
itself in being the best in the field. University Challenge
is a brilliant quiz format, which will enable Indian college students
to experience a truly international level of quizzing. We look forward
to announcing the show in a couple of months with British Council
through interactive ground events."
