Wonderful evening at Taj Mahal Palace, 250 + teams, and great quizzing. IMT Ghaziabad was at its best. They topped the prelims also they won it with huge margins. In Giri's own words, this team was calm and composed from the beginning and finally they won it. Today's center of attraction was a team from SSCBS(Undergraduates). I saw them last years's crucibles as well. Giri pointed out and said it is one of the youngest team which qualifies for the finals like TATA Crucibles. Delhi once again showed its true spirit and made many records, be it terms of no. of  participating teams or the youngest team ever in the history of  TATA Crucibles. In one of the audience questions which was answered by TATA Crucibles Indore winner Debashish (IIM-I). Giri noticed it and announced that people started travelling from one cities to another just to see who is their competitors in National finals, scheduled to take place at Taj Hotel Mumbai.  This time first in the history of quizzing in India a new concept is introduced- During each pass the weightage of the question will increase rather than decrease which is usually the case till yet.
