Acumen 2005: India's Only National Level B-school Challenge

ACUMEN - a unique path breaking initiative started by Business Today in 2002, presented by Business Today and Aditya Birla Group in association with Tata Consultancy Services is a National Business School Challenge on Quiz and Debate. India's best B-schools match their wits against each other - more than the usual display of debating and quizzing skills. Over 100 institutes participate in a nail-biting competition. There are four regional rounds in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata followed by grand national finals in Delhi.

ACUMEN brings together the best talent from the country’s B-schools. This is where one sees minds battle, strategies drawn and leaders evolve. With electrifying debate rounds, exciting quiz questions and an enthusiastic audience raring to take on the challenge as well, the event provides for an intense battle of wits, strategy and reflex. The audience too have a lot to gain - with gifts from various Acumen sponsors.

On campus after campus, for the 4th consecutive year now, ACUMEN has acquired the status of a national brand. Its own insta-recognition logo (the unmissable double-end sharpened pencil), its own consistency of event attributes, its own buzz-generating capacity, and even its own set of devotees.

This year, with Harsh Bhogle as our Quiz Master, ACUMEN is bigger, stronger and sharper. The Western Region round will be held on October 14th & 15th, 2005 in SP Jain Institute of Management & Research, Mumbai & Northern Region round on October 21st & 22nd, 2005 in IIFT, New Delhi. Eastern & Southern round will be held within the months of November-December followed by finals at New Delhi on December 10, 2005.
