2. Christ University (Abhinav & Anirudh)

Christ University ( Kuldeep & sankarshan) won handomely.. A phlegmatic team, conspicous only by the fantastic answers they give (They are also the defending ET in Campus Bangalore Champions).. IIMB gave the title a late shot with some good textbook answers but that wasn’t enough to dismantle Christ’s lead.

As for the quiz, the prelim yet again was a typical Crucible/ Pickbrain prelim with very high current affairs concentration but the final redeemed any bad taste left in the mouth. Some very good dry and visual questions with the typical lateral connects and 3 clue questions adding to the total tally. All in all, good quiz. Giri was flamboyant, as usual and Christ were great..

Wishing Kullu and Sanky the very best of luck for the National and International Final..

Bring home the cup darlings!!
