An individual IT Fair oral quiz scored by a percentile formula rather than judges, open at Upper Primary and above.
IT Quiz tests knowledge of computers, software, the internet and ICT news.
In the Kerala School Sasthrolsavam IT Fair (ICT Mela) it is an individual item at Upper Primary, High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE, open to girls and boys. It is scored by a percentile formula (participant score divided by the highest score, times 100), not by judge-assigned criteria.
Preparation includes reading, practising and following technology news.
Because it is a formula, speed and accuracy decide the result.
