The COVID-19 Stay-at-Home CBT and Essay Challenge has begun. This thread is for the students who wish to participate in the essay aspect of the competition.

All essays will be given the same attention, no matter where it is posted.
500MB Daily for Airtel Users: We're pleased to inform all Airtel users that you will be given 500MB of data daily to browse any content on the SchoolGist Website, throughout the stay-at-home/lockdown period, to curb the spread of the Coronavirus. This kind gesture has been provided by Airtel, to help students study and access useful resources on SchoolGist, during these difficult times. This simply means that browsing the SchoolGist Website or using the SchoolGist App from an Airtel line will not use up your data.
