NCERT Invites Students to Vikram Sarabhai Space Quiz 2026
A big Indian education organisation called NCERT is holding a fun space quiz named after a famous scientist, Vikram Sarabhai.
It is for school students in Classes 6 to 12.
The quiz tests what kids know about India's space missions, satellites, stars and space technology.
Students are split into two groups: younger kids in Classes 6 to 8 and older students in Classes 9 to 12.
