The final witnessed a very tense and slow battle as none of the teams were willing to play big hits. This made every single question and every single run count as quizmaster Pickbrain unfolded one of the toughest finals of the season.
The difficulty level of the quiz clubbed with the reluctance of the teams to hedge high, led to a low scoring game giving every team a chance to win to the very end.

The SJMSOM team did well to accumulate their runs at the right time and win the regional while Govt Law College managed to finish second. The guest of honour was the General Manager of Taj Vivanta (President), Ms. Ashrafi
