As the top team to go into the national finale looked pretty clear from the beginning, it was a battle for the second spot and that sure was a tight battle, more of nerves, as XLRI, NIT Rourkela, and IIM Shillong jostled with each other till IIM Shillong came out victorious on the last question of the quiz to join KIIT in the national finale.
