    SELECT DISTINCT (employeeCode) FROM quiz_answer_detailsWHERE submitTime
    IN (SELECT MIN( submitTime ) FROM quiz_answer_details WHERE quizId

But I want to use this code on my codeigniter, but it is not working.

My codeigniter query code is

    $this->db->select('employeeCode');
    $this->db->from('employee_details');
    $this->db->where_in('employeeCode');
    $this->db->select('DISTINCT(employeeCode)');
    $this->db->from('quiz_answer_details');
    $this->db->where_in('submitTime');
    $this->db->select('min(submitTime)');
    $this->db->from('quiz_answer_details');
    $this->db->where_in('quizId');
    $this->db->select('id');
    $this->db->from('quiz_details');
    $this->db->where('uploadtime',"2014-04-03");
    $this->db->where_in('answer');
    $this->db->select('answer');
    $this->db->from('quiz_details');
    $this->db->where('uploadtime',"2014-04-03");
    $query=$this->db->get();
    print_r($query);
    if($query->num_rows>=1)
    {
        return $query;
    }
    else
    {
         return false;
    }

What is wrong please help me

You should re write you subquery and use joins instead to get the better performance,without having full information regarding your tables/relationship and desired result i can't provide you the new query but you can use your subquery in active record's where function

$subquery=" SELECT DISTINCT (employeeCode) FROM quiz_answer_detailsWHERE submitTime
    IN (SELECT MIN( submitTime ) FROM quiz_answer_details WHERE quizId
    IN (SELECT id FROM quiz_details WHERE uploadtime =  '2014-04-03')
    AND answer IN (SELECT answer FROM quiz_details WHERE uploadtime =  '2014-04-03')) ";
$this->db->select('employeeCode');
$this->db->from('employee_details');
$this->db->where('employeeCode IN('.$subquery.')',null,FALSE);
$query=$this->db->get();

You should pass third parameter as FASLE in order to prevent the query to be quoted by bacticks Or you can use query() fucntion to run your raw queries

$query=$this->db->query(' your full query here');
$query->result();
