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.
Kids can take the quiz on a learning platform called DIKSHA, which has separate links for each group.
The quiz happens before National Space Day, which India celebrates on August 23.
The top 30 students from different zones will get to attend the National Space Day event in Ahmedabad.
The quiz helps students learn more about India's space programme and get excited about science and technology.
