Milieu Quiz 2008-09

After the success of the Ispat Quiz, the Milieu Organizing Committee decided to give the PCSAGK the responsibility of hosting the inter college quiz that was part of Milieu, the annual fest of Presidency College. It was held in the Physics Lecture Theatre I on 7th January and was attended by as many as twenty eight teams, a rare sight in college fest quizzes. The participants included students not only from most reputed colleges in and around Calcutta, but also from Pune and Durgapur.

The quiz hosts were Sayan and Panda, both from Presidency College, and they enthralled the participating teams and audience alike with some brilliant questions from all walks of life. 

The prelims saw a cut off of 13 and the eight teams made it to the finals - Clueless, Potoldanga Thunder Club, 42, Boye Gechhe, D.A.T.A. Base, Juxtaposed, St. Xaviers' College and Scottish Church College.

The mains had an exciting finish as Potoldanga ensured their win with a correct answer in the very last question of the quiz. Had they not answered it, Boye Gechhe (second place) would have had the opportunity of answering it themselves and clinching the quiz. Clueless, an all-Presidency team, finished in third place.

PCSAGK would like to thank the Milieu Organising Committee, and Dipendra in particular, for giving them the opportunity to conduct the quiz.
