Fun2compete.com is a web portal that seeks to enhance an individual’s knowledge horizon beyond what his regular activities offer. We aim to achieve this by engaging an individual through a series of competitions that are fun to work at and are challenging to his intellect. The key takeaways in participating in such competitions would be an enriched mind and an enthralled soul. To know more about competitions check Section IV on Competition and Fun.

The needs of the modern day world are getting wider every passing day. Superior academic knowledge is no longer a unique selling proposition for an individual. It is rather deemed a necessity and only one who is able to show an understanding beyond that gets rewarded. While the destination (in the form of an all-round intellect) is clear, the path to achieve it is not. Fun2compete.com essentially seeks to play an integral role in helping you discover this mysterious path to glory.
To sum up, we aim to make you high RQ individuals, where RQ stands for Readiness Quotient, a measure that captures how ready you are to meet the needs of the modern world. To know more on RQ refer Section V on Rewards, Qn-5.

Fun2compete.com helps in building your RQ (Readiness Quotient) by offering several web-based and non-web based (offline) competitions. By engaging yourselves in these competitions, you begin to build a unique wealth of knowledge on varied matters that make you a better individual to appreciate and respond effectively to the environment around you.

Currently, the competition is open only to school students studying in class VIII to class XII. Over a period of time, we plan to extend the participants back (under class VIII) and forward (college goers).

Your next course of action would depend on whether your school is part of the PPP ( Proud & Privileged Partner) programme of fun2compete.com or not.

PPP stands for Proud & Privileged Partner Programme. It is a special programme with fun2compete.com that provides special benefits to participating schools and its students.

Any school in India can be a part of this PPP programme. Over a period of time we plan to include college and other organisations into our PPP programme.

A school can opt to be part of the PPP programme either at the Basic or Advanced level.

Under the Basic level, the school agrees to collectively promote fun2compete.com among its students. The school facilitates fun2compete.com to conduct its programme to its students. It establishes a mechanism in collaboration with fun2compete.com to register students for the programme, collect subscription from students and make some basic information on interested students available to fun2compete.com.

Under the Advanced level, the school shows greater commitment towards the programme. Instead of keeping the programme optional to its students (as in the Basic level), the school subscribes to the programme for the school as a whole (for students from class VIII to class XII). Apart from financial benefits (Refer Section VI on Subscription and Payment -Qn.6), under the Advanced level, the school and its teachers can also get actively involved in customising the programme to best suit their students. All the activities to be carried out by the school under the Basic level shall also apply under the Advanced level.

If you are a school principal or a school authority who is interested in getting your school to be part of our PPP programme, kindly send us a mail regarding your interest and queries, if any, to pppenquiry@fun2compete.com.
