Biz Quiz Savant

The Commerce Society, Hans Raj College commenced with its series of monthly events for the academic year 2013 – 2014 on 27^th September 2013 with ‘The Biz Quiz Savant : A Business Quiz Like No Other’.

Venue: NR 4, College Premises.
Time : 1.00 PM

The competition comprised of three rounds, the first round being a quiz of 30 questions. The questions for the round were interesting, unique and planned in a manner that tested the students’ knowledge in all spheres 60 students, in teams of two, participated and only twenty made to the next round.

The round consisted of questions divided in seven categories:

·          Academics

·          Branding

·          Guess the person,

·          Guess the company,

·          Finance,

·         General knowledge, and

·         E-business

The teams were given preference according to their scores, and one after other they had to select categories. After the selection, a question was asked from the topic they selected, while every category had the ceiling of three selections. Only 30 seconds were provided to answer every question. This round really tested their mettle, as apart from knowledgeable in the particular area they also had to be quick. Finally, the top 2 teams proceeded to the third round.

This round was really different, and the first of its kind. The two teams were given a symbol – O and X. For every right answer they give, they had to put their symbol on the tic-tac-toe – a grid with 9 spaces. The team who joined three symbols first would be winners. This round was the true show-stealer. The questions were fantastic, and the suspense unbearable. The added smartness to be used in the grid truly required each participant to give their best.  The groans and applause from the audience ensured that every one of us was equally invested!

The winner were:

Shraishth Jain and Arnav Jain

Runners up:
Piyush Poddar and Sunishtha Joshi

The huge success of the event could not have been possible without the guidance of our teachers and seniors, hard work of the organisers, and the enthusiasm of the participants. Once again, The Commerce Society established a new benchmark for its success.

We congratulate the winning teams, and hope to organise more such events in the future.
