CYBER QUIZ: The Grand Vision

The CYBER QUIZ, defined here as quizzes on different aspects of information and communication technologies (ICTs), has been conceived in three major streams, named after India's major rivers, as follows:

GANGA: CYBER QUIZ

Volume I: The Foundations
Volume II: The Applications

YAMUNA: I4D QUIZ

BRAMHAPUTRA: eGOV QUIZ

Volume I: India - The Union
Volume II: India - The States
Volume III: Global

It should thus be possible to identify a quiz stream by the quiz tag, namely, CYBER QUIZ, I4D QUIZ or eGOV QUIZ.This is essential to keep in mind as quizzes will make a mixed appearance in this blog.

Happy quizzing!
