Why am I not getting the Inquisitive badge$?$ I completed the criteria nearly one and a half weeks ago but still the badge isn't coming. Is it a glitch from M.SE's side or something else.

2$\begingroup$ Why is this tagged moderators? In what sense is this something related to the elected moderators, the actions they have taken, or the powers they have? $\endgroup$– Asaf Karagila ModAug 2 at 15:21

1$\begingroup$ FYI, using a site search, there's How to earn the inquisitive badge?, which links to the related Why was the "curious badge" badge not being awarded? (in particular, its answer explains about needing to maintain a "positive question record", as also explained specifically for your case in davidlowryduda's answer below). $\endgroup$– John OmielanAug 2 at 15:32

To get the inquisitive badge, you must have asked a well-received question on 30 days and maintain a positive question record.
You don't have a positive question record.
To calculate your question record, you count
$$ \frac{\text{NumQuestions} - \text{NumDV} - \text{NumCL} - \text{NumDEL}}{\text{NumQuestions}}, $$ where
- $\text{NumDV}$ is the number of downvoted questions
- $\text{NumCL}$ is the number of closed questions, and
- $\text{NumDEL}$ is the number of deleted questions.
Note that if a question is downvoted, closed, and deleted, then it counts triple against the record.
A record is positive if the calculated record above is at least $0.5$. I think (but calculated this very quickly and didn't check) that your record is approximately $0.39$. To get the inquisitive badge, you'll have to improve your question record — probably by asking more good questions.
