Formal Events

Battle Royale
A soldier once asked, "What is it that inspires a soldier most?" and Caesar replied, "It is the sight of the biggest battlefield." This is what Battle Royale offers - an arena so large that it resembles every bit like the real business world. It is a simulation where B-schools lock horns and run their business, right from arranging land to managing capital, from recruiting employees to handling media, and everything that the real world has to offer. Put aside all the B-school ratings, because this is the real test, this is War!

Case Study
Consider, Interpret, Decide and Implement. These are the bywords a businessman lives by. Here, these bywords are put to real test as they manifest themselves in a Live Case Study which contestants analyze on the spot.

Free Enterprise
They say necessity is the mother of invention. If so, then an idea is the seed for progress. And what would the world be without ideas like Google and Hotmail? Free Enterprise is a board for business plans, judged by those who have already proved their mettle. This is where the budding entrepreneurs bring forth their business plans and the best one wins.

Chequemate!
In Chequemate, some of the best quizzing teams will come together and trivia will bounce across the walls like tennis balls. Back and forth, in a volley of knowledge, the best teams will compete to decide who the crowning champion is.

Devil's Advocate
A debate, in true court-room style, complete with a judge and lawyers fighting for their clients. Teams put forth arguments to save their case and win their clients a round in the next level.
