The business quiz which is not new to this city is always a pitched battle amongst campuses. The final seemed a one sided affair with the IIT team racing off to a lead in the early stages. Seasoned quizmaster Pickbrain was at his best as he kept encouraging the teams to crack his posers.
The XLRI teams and NIT represented by Palak and Aakash gave some quality answers but took negatives to be able to sustain the score line. It was just past the mid way that the duo from NIT came up with a series of outstanding answers that stumped everyone and silenced the other teams.
As the excitement mounted and as the quiz inched to the final round, with NIT’s Palak and Aakash still powering their way and with three questions remaining, they were on the verge of a great victory having caught up with IIT in style.
As Pickbrain fired the next question the NIT duo took the initiative and went for the buzzer bravely and got the answer right to the delight of the audience. IIT were now forced to go for the next one which they got wrong and finished runner up.
The entire audience though applauded for a valiant effort by all the teams. The guest of honour Mr. Ashish Mathur, MD Jusco, congratulated the teams and awarded them the prizes.
