How many submissions did the NHRC's Human Rights Quiz-2026 receive?
- A.16,712
- B.26,459
- C.57,530
- D.1,67,127
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 26,459. That is the number of entries actually submitted, and they came from every State and Union Territory of the country. Option D, 1,67,127, is the number of views the quiz page drew, which is naturally much larger than the number of people who went on to complete it, so the two figures must be kept apart. Option C is a distorted form of the count of participants who scored full marks, which was 5,753, and from among those the ten winners were drawn by lots by the MyGov team. Option A is simply a scrambled version of the view count. Most of the submissions came from the age group of 18 to 24, and Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu led the State-wise participation.
