VJTI Contingent at Tata Crucible 2009

This is the contingent from VJTI at Tata Crucible (Campus) 2009, one of India's toughest business quizzes. This is probably the biggest bunch of students from VJTI to have gone for Crucible. I just hope that Crucible sees such participation from VJTI in the coming years, given the fact that the majority of the participants from VJTI this time were from their final year.

This Mumbai round , as usual, kept us on the edge of our seats- ending in a triple tie-breaker between NM and IIT-Bombay. The winning team, IIT- showed some, hitherto, unseen chemistry- right up till the very last moment. KJ Somaiya deserves an honourable mention for a great performance indeed.

Catch up with the questions from the elimination round here. This quiz will be telecast on CNBC-TV18 on May 23rd and 24th. Telecast details here.
