The Presidency College Society for Acquisition of General Knowledge – popularly known as the Presidency Quiz Club - was re-established on September 8 2008 by the Governing Body of the college after a growing need was felt for a society exclusively for quizzers.
The Society is the by far the oldest quiz club in India, having been established in 1838. Members then included prominent Derozians of that age like Peary Chand Mitra (first President), Rev. Krishna Mohan Banerjee and Debendranath Tagore amongst others. In the wake of the nationalist movement the activities of the society gradually waned.
The Presidency Quiz Club has been formed again with the primary objective of promoting quizzing in the college through quiz sessions, organizing quizzes and developing quizzers.
The governing body of the Society is:
Teachers in charge – Prof. Nandalal Chakraborti
Prof. Jayshree Mukhopadhyay
President - Sayan Bhattacharya
Secretary - Debak Das
Vice Presidents - Gaurav Garg
Panda
Assistant Secretaries - Panchajanya Banerjee
Nairit Sur
Treasurer - Sumantrasarathi Datta
Conveners - Chandrayee Chatterjee
Abhirup Ghosh
