The final started with COE Guindy taking an early lead to be followed by the other teams on stage. While the quality of the quiz lived up to the standards that a Chennai would expect, the duo from COE Guindy went about cracking the questions with such clinical precision that it prompted the quizmaster to comment ‘There is little one can do when a Sehwag on song’. The team just moved on from strength to strength to finish with a staggering score of 80.

The second place battle was absorbing and went down to the final round The teams from IIT and SVCE had a chance while KCG kept the tempo and the answers flowing to finish a very credible runner up. The audience were very enthusiastic and won several prizes for themselves from the world of Tatas.
