Founded on 8th April, 2000, the Quiz Club of the school, aptly named "Grey Matter" was born out of the efforts of two avid "quizzards" - Priyodorshi Bhattacharya and Shreyo Sadhu, who took over as President and Vice-President, respectively, in the initial year. The name "Grey Matter" owes its origin to the “little grey cells” in our brain and the colour of the school trousers. While the former is essential for one to make a mark in the world of quizzing, the latter inspiration is primarily one of loyalty to the school.

The club has produced several top notch 'quizzards', some of whom feature in the national arena as well. Some notable laurels earned by the club members include the ESPN Star sports Quiz, The Calcutta Boys School Quasquicenterrial Quiz, Vibes Brain storm 2003, and MP Birla Smarak Kosh Quiz ’04.

The Club aims at training up members from a younger level still. Intra-school, Inter-house quizzes for classes 6-9 are held to bring out the hidden potential of the youngsters. With an ever-rising number of members, quizzing in Birla High is well on the path of becoming a common hobby of all the students than an elitist sport, an idea which had led to the founding of the club in the first place.

The Creative Writing Club of Birla High School meets every Wednesday at 1.10 pm, It aims at encouraging creative thinking in students and developing in them a flair for writing. Reading habits are encouraged in students because a command over the language cannot be developed without regular reading habits. Since a style of writing can only grow with regular habits of practising writing, students are encouraged to write poems, short stories and articles on a regular basis. These are read out by the writers themselves while others later critically appreciate the texts of their peers. If it is felt that a change is required to be made, the writers do the needful. These articles are then published in the school magazine.

The Computer club of the school comprising 40 members aims at discovering the computer wizards of the school to help them to take one step forward and emerge as completely developed software professionals. The few areas of specialization taken up in the agenda of the Club include Computer Programming, Website Development, Multimedia, Presentations and Computer Quizzing.

With the motto “Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together is success”, the Social Service Club of the school was set up. The ultimate aim is to help the members develop in them the virtues of compassion, empathy and fellow feeling and, by small acts of service to humanity, work towards a better India. Through regular visits to old age homes and catering to the needs of the inmates, selling cards, raising funds, organizing walks promoting communal harmony, putting up cultural shows and conducting literacy prgrammes, the club, ever since its inception, has done more than adding a smile to the not so privileged members of the society.

Instituted in April 2004, with members from the senior secondary section, the Nature Club of the school aims at promoting environmental awareness among the members by sensitizin
