[ ABOUT THE EVENT ]

What is Query Quest?

Query Quest is a database-centric competitive event designed to test participants' knowledge of databases, SQL queries, data retrieval, and logical problem-solving skills.
The event focuses on real-world data handling scenarios where participants must analyze datasets, write optimized queries, and solve practical database challenges.
Conducted in three progressive rounds — from conceptual MCQs to database design to live query solving — the event rewards both theoretical depth and practical skill.

[ COMPETITION FORMAT ]

Query Quest Format — 3 Rounds

Conceptual & MCQ Round

MCQ Format Elimination Round

Tests your foundational knowledge of database concepts, normalization, keys, relationships, and SQL theory through multiple-choice questions. Speed and accuracy determine who advances.

Database Design Round
