Before You Register

Questions Karnataka families ask most.

Can’t find your answer here? Call or WhatsApp the team using the details below the calendar.

Who can register for Verbattle Karnataka 2026?

Students across Beginner, Junior, Kannada and Junior Plus tracks can register. Beginner and Junior tracks need no prior debate experience — Clamber & Prelims rounds are built as an on-ramp.

Do I need to attend every date on the calendar?

No. Each track only runs on its own dates — for example, the Kannada track meets on 4–6 Aug, not the full season. Check the schedule table above and filter by your stage.

What happens if I miss a Skirmish round?

Skirmish 1 and 2 both feed into Combat & Confrontation, so missing one round can affect advancement. Contact the Verbattle team as early as possible if a date is a conflict.

Is the competition online or in-person?

Clamber & Prelims run in person across Hubballi, Mangaluru, Mysuru and Bengaluru North & Central. From Skirmish onward, all rounds are hosted in Bengaluru.

How do I register or ask a question before the season starts?

Register directly at verbattle.com, or reach the team by phone or WhatsApp — both are listed below. Someone from Verbattle will confirm your track and city.

Don't Miss The Season

Karnataka takes the stage on 08-Jul-26.

Registrations are open across Hubballi, Mangaluru, Mysuru and Bengaluru. Lock your slot before Clamber & Prelims fill up.
