The final witnessed a very tense and interesting battle between IIT BHU, MNNIT and IIT Kanpur. At the end of a riveting quiz the duo from IIT Kanpur inched past IIT BHU with Aadhityan and Ashlesh to win a memorable quiz.

The audience won several prizes and enjoyed the wit and sharp humour of the quizmaster. The winners now make it to the Kolkata zonal. Prof. Ashim Kumar, Dean Student Affairs, IIT-BHU graced the occasion.
