The final was a very absorbing battle with most teams scoring at similar frequency. It was only after the middle phases of the quiz that a few teams inched ahead of the rest. The IIM’s, the law aspirants and the IMT duo were all in the race for the title.
The IMT team played a smart strategy, backing themselves to a higher value playing the Tata Card (for 150 crubits) each time, gaining more from their answers. This resulted in them getting past the IIM team that answered equally well but kept playing at par (100 crubits) and did not push for more.
This led to IMT being able to put pressure and forcing a mistake from the IIMs resulting in them having to settle for the runner up title, with IMT winning comfortably towards the end. The duo from BACL also did well but could not move past the top two despite some very good answers.
The guest of honour Dr. Shekar Bhole, CEO, Meghe Group of Institutions, spoke of the importance of knowledge and gave away the prizes.
