For the third year in a row, the Department of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences at Fortis Healthcare, is organising India’s most acclaimed and noteworthy psychology quiz competition, ‘Psych – ED’. Designed and executed under the aegis of Dr. Samir Parikh, the quiz illustrates Fortis Healthcare’s endeavour to make mental health a priority for India’s youth. The quiz puts to test the knowledge of students from Class XI & XII and seeks to cultivate their interest in the subject. The objective of the quiz is to impart learning while ensuring that the subject remains engaging and fun for the students. The online registrations would close on 30th July 2018. The first round of Psych -ED, which is an online quiz, will be held on August 7, 2018.
Each school is required to nominate a team of three students from their senior secondary class. These students will compete in the three rounds of the competition – an online quiz, a zonal round and the finale. The online quiz, held in the school premises, will determine the top twelve qualifying schools (from each zone), which will participate in the ‘Zonal Finals”. These zonal finals will be held across Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata. The winning team from each zone will compete in the Finale, which will be held in the National Capital Region on September 1st, 2018.
The prizes include a one lakh rupee cash prize, a scholarship offer from G.D. Goenka University and an opportunity to intern with Mental Health and Behavioural Science Department of Fortis Healthcare.
Last year, PSYCH –ED witnessed the participation of over 460 schools from across 90 Indian cities.
