Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the IT services, consulting and business solutions firm, has announced that the Mumbai edition of TCS IT Wiz, an inter-school IT quiz, will be held on Sunday, October 14 at the Indian Education Society, Bandra Reclamation, Mumbai.

The Mumbai edition is open to students studying in classes 8-12 (including pre-university or junior college students). There is no entry fee. Each institution is allowed to send multiple teams of two members each for the competition.

The highlight this year will be the launch of India’s first animation-based quiz software created by quizmaster Pickbrain and his team. The regional finals this year will also be based on a game-based format driven by special software.

This year TCS IT Wiz has expanded its foot print by adding two more cities — Nagpur and Indore — thus making it a 14-city edition.

The regional rounds will be followed by a national finals in December where the winning teams from the 14 regional rounds along with winners of the UAE edition will compete for the TCS IT Wiz National Champion title.

Entries have to be sent through the respective institutions on or before October 12 to TCS IT Wiz Coordinator, TCS House, Mumbai.
