 A number of young and enthusiastic quiz contestants battled it out for the top prize on the first day of the annual collegiate quiz and dance competition called ‘Brains and Beat competition’ on Monday.

The second day of the event will be a dance competition with 60 colleges participating in it.
“The quiz competition was superb as the questions had a mixture of various topics,” said Arvind V, a regular quizzer from BMS College of Engineering, whose team won the top prize.

The preliminary round saw participation from nearly 100 colleges where each team had to answer 30 questions. The teams that got the most number of questions right qualified for the final round. Of the 100 colleges, eight colleges made the final cut.

All the teams were up to the mark,” said quizmaster Prof Arul Mani.

IIMB emerged second and St Joseph College (Post Graduate Centre) third.
