It was only the second time the corporate edition of Tata Crucible was being held at Raipur and the enthusiasm with the audience was so high that it reflected in great measure on their interest in quizzing. A quick prelim and the finalists were identified.
The final was a display of the collective might of Bhilai Steel Plant teams, spare a brave fight by Godavari Power who finished third. From the word go, Chandrashekar and Ramani were on fire only to register a flawless, faultless win over their colleagues.
The quiz seemed more a battle for the second place but the duo of Shamkuwar and Manoj Kumar played with great grit to get past the others and finish runner up.
The guest of honour Dr. S. K. Pandey, the Vice Chancellor of the Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University congratulated the teams for a great display and specially appreciated the research pointing to how it is not easy to peg questions at the right level and gave away the prizes.
