The final witnessed one of the most absorbing battles of a Crucible with nearly all teams running
neck and neck through the first few rounds of the quiz. The quizmaster even observed 'This is so
typical of Pune where they all run together like a marathon and the sprint in the last lap decides the winner'.
True to that statement the quiz went down the wire to the final round with SIBM, Symbiosis Law School and SCMHRD
all battling for the top spot. Amneet Sodhi and Gaurav Parab of SCMHRD finally prevailed in a tie breaker with
