How to make an online quiz for your class (free)
One quiz, three ways to use it: a team contest on the projector, a live quiz on students' phones and a practice link for homework. No student needs an account or an email address.
Short answer
Open Quiz Maker & Player, type your questions (or import a CSV file from Excel) and choose how to play: “Class quiz” for teams on the projector, “Share & print” for a WhatsApp practice link, or import the quiz into Live Class Quiz, where students join at apnipathshala.ai/join with a 6-digit code and a nickname.

Play it in class with teams
Open the “Class quiz” tab on the projector. Divide the class into teams A–D, show one question at a time, let the teams discuss until the timer ends, then show the answer and give a point to every team that was right.

Send a practice link on WhatsApp
In “Share & print”, copy the quiz link and send it to the class group. The whole quiz is packed inside the link, so it works without any login. You can also print the questions, with the answer key on a separate page.
-
Run a live quiz on students' phones
For a Kahoot-style live quiz, open Live Class Quiz and sign in with Google (only the teacher signs in). Import your quiz and press “Host live”. Students open apnipathshala.ai/join, type the 6-digit code and a nickname, and answer on their phones.

See the results
A correct answer gets 500 to 1000 points: the faster, the more. The leaderboard appears after each question, and you can download the results as a CSV file. Results are deleted after 30 days.
Tips for a good class quiz
- Keep 10 to 15 questions for one period, and one idea per question.
- Write a short explanation for every answer: students learn the most right after a mistake.
- In the live quiz, ask students to use a nickname, not their full name.
- No phones in class? Play the class quiz on the projector, or print the worksheet.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a free alternative to Kahoot or Quizizz?

Can I make a quiz in Hindi?
Yes. Type the questions in Hindi or any Indian language. The buttons and menus of the app are also available in 12 languages.
Does the practice link work without internet?
