Shri Ram College of Commerce is one of the foremost academic institutions in Asia, and the uncontested victor in the commerce field. The college, along with its academic credentials, has a vibrant and recognized extracurricular culture.
The Quiz Society was founded in 2009, as part of an endeavour to stimulate intellectual fervour among the students and hone extempore skills of general knowledge questions, in various fields ranging from business and sports to music, entertainment and arts. Since it's inception, QuizSoc-as it is famously known in the campus-has been hosting an annual fest entitled Illume. In 2012-13, the society aggressively expanded its activities. It held an inter-college quiz competition, QUIZignia, on Septemper 25, 2012. QUIZignia was a unanimous success, with over 300 participants from over 70 colleges.
Buoyed by its success, the society then conducted Illume, a national level quiz fest. Illume was conducted on January 28-29, 2013. It witnessed a participation of over 1500 quizzers from all over India. Illume was conducted by Quizmaster Vijay Anand Menon, and featured RJ Aparshakti Khurana as host for Bollywood Quiz.
