Jammu played host to its second Tata Crucible as teams from across the state took part enthusiastically. A 20 question prelim in brisk pace and the teams were all geared for the final to follow. The finalists were:
In the early rounds of the quiz MSCET took a quick lead and looked like moving ahead but other teams were quick to catch up with them as question were cracked at a rapid pace by the teams.
On the one hand the audience were thoroughly entertained watching Pickbrain live which was a rarity for them, while on the other a young duo from MIET (Ankur and Sanjay) started dominating the buzzer rounds and got a a huge lead. Being the youngest team on stage they had a lot of support from the audience, as they went from strength to strength to become the youngest champions.
Towards the end a brilliant come back by Govt College of Engineering forced a tie breaker for the second place with MBSCET which the former won.
MIET now go into the north zone finals at Delhi.
