India map quiz: 36 states and UTs, 30 capitals, and the five places with a circle

A Class 8 student in Pune revises for a social science test. “Find the place” asks all 36 — 28 states and 8 union territories — in random order. Delhi, Chandigarh, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu are too small to tap, so each gets a circle. “Find it from its capital” asks 30 and “Choose the capital” 33.

  1. Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir), Shillong (Meghalaya) and Sri Vijaya Puram start alike: in “Choose the capital” one is often another’s fourth answer.
  2. For Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Manipur the six nearest capitals are all in the north-east, so the two neighbours offered are look-alikes from the same corner.
  3. Goa and Sikkim get no circle but are only about 20 pixels across in an 800-pixel-wide quiz: zoom in with the + button or Ctrl + scroll.
  4. Under the map a note reads “International boundaries as shown by the Government of India.”

The round ends “Done! 31/36 in 4:12”, say, with the places missed listed; “Practise the ones I missed” asks only those. Then try “Find it from its capital”: Gandhinagar (Gujarat), Dispur (Assam) and Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh) are the ones to watch.

How it works

  1. Choose a quiz: find the states and union territories by name, find each from its capital, or choose the capital among four.
  2. Click or tap each place as its name appears; zoom in for the small ones.
  3. At the end, see your time and score, then practise only the ones you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Which boundaries does the quiz use?
India’s official boundaries, as the Government of India shows them — the same map as the blank map of India, with a note under it saying so.
Why are Punjab and Haryana not in the capitals quiz?
They share Chandigarh, a union territory of its own, so neither has a capital to ask; Chandigarh itself, the city, is asked in find mode only.
How does it work?
A name appears above the map: click or tap that place. Right answers turn green; after three misses the answer is shown. Skipped places come back at the end, and the ones you missed can be practised again.
Is the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Port Blair?
The quiz uses its current name, Sri Vijaya Puram — Port Blair was renamed in 2024. It is asked in both capital quizzes.
Which places get a circle?
The five too small to tap on the whole map: Delhi, Chandigarh, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Click the circle, or zoom in and click the place itself.
Do I need an account?
No. The quiz runs in your browser with nothing to install or sign up for, and your scores are not stored anywhere.
