The response from the “new kids in the block” was truly overwhelming, with as many as 11 teams (2 member teams comprising 1st year students) battling it out in the Prelims to secure the much coveted spot among the 6 teams that would qualify for the Mains.
We had a special screening of Blood Brothers directed by Vishal Bharadwaj, courtesy the Red Ribbon Club, our social partner. Bappaditya Mukherjee (State Coordinator, Red Ribbon Club) also made a short but moving speech about how the youth should come together for the cause of eliminating and spreading awareness about HIV-AIDS.
The Prelims followed. After a closely fought round of elimination, 6 well deserving teams were left for the final battle. The quiz was conducted by the Club President Sayan Bhattacharya, with Panda being the man behind the laptop .It was a fiercely competitive quiz right from round one, with hardly any questions being left unanswered. With a brilliant long-chain round (designed by Nairit), a few sitters, and several teasers, the spot of the winner ended up as a tie. Devaditya and Deepanjan (Riders on the Storm) and Saroni and Samayita (Zeitgeist) were jointly declared the winners with a score of 80. The team of Sriyanka and Shiladitya (Nameless) also put up a brilliant show and finished with a close 75 at the 3rd spot.
The quiz was indeed one of a high standard, and what was most rewarding to see, was the enthusiasm among the freshers, especially among the girls. They were indeed the main ingredient for making the Freshers’ Quiz a grand success.
The PCSAGK is grateful to the Principal, Dr. Sanjib Ghosh and Prof. Amitava Chatterjee (Head of the Department, Department of Economics) for their cooperation. We hope there are many more such successful sessions of thought exercise in the days to come.
