Well no updates still?

For debate, the team from IIFT - Swarnim and Arka are selected to represent North India in the All India Finals to be held at Mumbai somewhere in November.

For Quiz, the team from IMT have qualified.

But the best event according to me was the Alumni quiz. It was awesome and the standard of quesions as well as the participants were amazing.

Just to elaborate on this,

Rohan Khanna was a man of the game, puys!

He simply rawked the show! To give you a hint of his talent...

His team scored 155 where the second rank team had scored 60 and the last rank team had scored 10 :o

He is working with Accenture and he is ex-FMS guy!

Btw,

Thanks for all the wishes! Unfortunately my team lost to MDI and AMITY gals in the quarter finals.

Ciao. 😃

this guy is from NSIT and use to rock in all the fests at that time. good to see that he had not lost his touch

there is another quizzer..again a rohan and again an NSITian who is in IIMA..his name is rohan murraka. if he participates, then God save the other teams. he is just super brilliant. he was the captain of the winning NSIT team of the univ challenge last year. its a treat to watch him

BT Acumen was fun this time :wink:

and yes, the IIFT team was good. Wishing them the best of luck for the National finals in Mumbai. Rohan Khanna is a past runner-up @ Acumen Quiz in 2005; though i dont see how he can be beat this time (or for that matter, how he was beaten last time)

Had great fun with rohit, Apurv & the rezident PGites like Ritesh, Sumit, Arvind n company. Just managed a 3rd in the debate finals; which was disappointing. Hope to be in Alum Quiz next year :wink:

Rohan (Accenture) was there as one of the finalists at Tata Crucible 06 and his hold on the lateral thinking questions was very commendable
