There are 40 cash prizes, from ₹1,000 to ₹5,000, and every participant gets an e-certificate.

How winners are chosen

Under the terms, everyone with the highest score who finishes within the time limit goes into a central pool. Winners are then selected only by the automated randomisation process. A faster or earlier entry does not rank higher, as far as the terms say.

If you win

Selected winners must submit valid proof of identity, address and bank details within the prescribed time. Missing it can lead to disqualification. The organisers' decision is final.

A careful checklist

Open the quiz only from quiz.mygov.in.
Read the Standards Watch issue first, then start when you are ready, because the 300 seconds begin when you click Play Quiz.
Enter accurate personal details.
Do not share an OTP or pay a caller who claims to handle your prize. Use only the official portal and organiser instructions.
