Haven't Heard About SPELLINC? Here's All You Need to Know

Today, Spellinc is known as a national event that tests the knowledge of students on English spelling and words. It has a wide coverage of roughly 1500 schools over 11 cities and reaches out to over 5 lakh students. Organized by Linc Pen and Plastics Limited, it is an initiative that not only tests students based on English spelling and vocabulary, instead, it looks at a much larger picture. It strives to encourage others to master the usage of correct spelling and grammar in the English language.

What started as a recreational activity among employees back in 1999 has now transformed into a national event. In fact, many academicians across the country have given immense accolades to this initiative. While providing a huge platform for students to compete, it is also a step towards a brighter India. Hence, Spellinc is held at the grassroots level in order to instill the practice of proper English in everyday life.

Here’s what Spellinc is all about.

The entire competition is divided into two groups of participants. Category 1 includes students from Grade 5 and 6 while Category 2 includes students from grade 7 and 8. What follow next are 3 rounds that include the following:

Round 1: The first round takes place in schools. A 20-minute MCQ-based written test is conducted for students. From these, toppers of both the Category 1 and 2 from each school qualify to compete in the second round.

Round 2: The semi-finals are conducted amongst the school toppers. 10 toppers from each category move on to the next stage. This means that there will be a total of 20 toppers that will qualify for the grand finale.

Round 3: From the list of qualifying participants, the top 3 winners of each category are awarded here.
