35th Annual Inter-Institutional Quiz Competition – BRAINWAVE 2026 Manav Sthali School successfully hosted the 35th Annual Inter-Institutional Quiz Competition – BRAINWAVE 2026, bringing together 108 students from 18 leading schools for a stimulating celebration of knowledge, critical thinking and collaboration. The event began with a tribute to the Founder Chairman, Hon’ble Dr. V. K. Bhatnagar, and gratitude to Chairperson Mrs. Mamta V. Bhatnagar for her continued commitment to educational excellence. A graceful Ram Stuti presented through classical dance added a spiritual and cultural dimension to the occasion.
The Chief Guest, distinguished alumnus Dr. Samir K. Kalra, Senior Consultant Neuro and Spine Surgeon at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, inspired students by sharing how guidance from his alma mater helped him choose medicine over engineering and later shaped key decisions in his professional journey. Emphasising the spirit of “Mindset Reset”, he encouraged students to trust their instincts, seek wise counsel and view setbacks as opportunities for growth.
After preliminary rounds, eight teams advanced to an exciting Grand Finale featuring intellectually engaging rounds that tested analytical reasoning, teamwork and quick thinking. Principal Dr. Dipti A. Bhatnagar congratulated all participants and reaffirmed Brainwave’s legacy of nurturing future-ready learners.
The event was meticulously coordinated by Mr. Pankaj Gugnani and Ms. Shalu Bajaj, with the dedicated support of Ms. Kavita Sharma, Ms. Nidhi Kapoor, Ms. Shweta Chawla, Ms. Meeta Rana, Ms. Shilpa, Ms. Deepika Vohra and Ms. Jyotsna. The elegantly curated cultural programme by Ms. Prema, Ms. Manjari and Mr. Pradeep added warmth, grace and artistic brilliance to the memorable occasion.
