World Scholars Cup

The World Scholars Cup is an International Academic Event for school children held in over 34 countries. It consists of 4 events: debate, collaborative writing, scholars bowl and a quiz. This is held in various themes - history, current affairs, arts, science, literature, special areas.

 

The theme for the India Round at Mumbai was ‘The World Within’ which was held for juniors (ages 11 to 14 years) and seniors (ages 15 years above).

 

This has become a highly anticipated event across the countries and is rapidly becoming the benchmark for academic prowess. There are no comparable events of this nature in the country or even out of it. There were several rounds – satellite, national, global and finale. The finale is held at Yale University every year. (Ryan Group will also host the 2015 Global Round)

 

All well-known schools send their best and brightest for this as this carries immense prestige amongst the community.

 

The India Round:

The India Round at Mumbai is being hosted by Ryan International Group of Institutions. Ryan became associated with the WSC last year and was instrumental in bringing WSC to India.

 

The first ever India round held by Ryan in Delhi in Dec 2012 was a whopping success.  Following this, many schools sent their teams to Dubai for the Global Round in 2013.

 

The India Round this year is being held in Mumbai and promises to be one of the largest ever rounds for WSC.
