ENIGMA – Quest for Excellence

BIM Trichy organized its first ever online quiz for graduate and post graduate students. The event was named ENIGMA – The Quest for Excellence. The quiz was organized over a period of 3 days with 2 stages. The first stage was the prelims and the 2nd stage was the finals. The event was a joint effort between PRCOM (PR Committee of BIM) and BIMQuest (Quizzing club of BIM).

The first stage of the event received 500+ registrations from B Schools, Engineering Colleges and other graduate/post graduate institutes. The question paper was mailed to the participating teams and they had to mail back the answers in a excel sheet with a specified format within an hour.

The 2nd stage of the event was the finals. Top 30 teams from the first round competed in this round. Teams from institutes such as FMS, IMT Ghaziabad, IFMR, IIM A, IIM L, SIBM, XLRI and BIM formed a major chunk of the 30 teams. The same format for quizzing was followed except that the numbers of questions were reduced to 30 this time but the level of difficulty was increased.

Finally the results were out and the top 10 teams were declared. Top 3 teams got cash prizes of Rs 5000, Rs 3000, Rs 2000 for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd position respectively and certificates of merit. The remaining 7 teams that formed the top 10 were issued certificates of participation. The list of the top 10 teams is given below.
