The quizmasters coming down for testing the acumen of the quizzards at Nihilanth ’17 are a very distinguished and eclectic mix. We have Mr Suraj Menon, a very popular Indian quizzer known for asking questions in a Malayali accent, and Mr J Ramanand, one of the founders of Choose to Thinq and a part of KBC’s expert panel. Major Chandrakant Nair, a.k.a. ‘Captain’, (as he is known in quizzing circles) who has a penchant for innovative rounds, and Mr Arul Mani, Director of Karnataka Quizzing Association and a part of ‘Meta Quizzers’ in Bangalore, are also coming down. We will also be having Mr Vikram Joshi, the first non-British winner of the World Quizzing Championship, and Mr Sachin Ravi, a hardcore foodie and a National-Level Tata Crucible winner, as a part of our QM panel.
‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’
This is what we believe at IIM-L and hence along with the rigour of the quizzes, we also have the college band, 3.4, and the college dance team, Random Walk, performing. In the build-up to Nihilanth ’17, there will be a series of online quizzes which will be conducted. There are exciting prizes to be won in each quiz, with the winner getting 16000 along with 8000 and 4000 for the 2 runners up. For every quiz, the winners will be awarded certain points and the contingent with the highest total will be presented with a ‘Championship Trophy’.
This year, Nihilanth is being presented with a different take, a ‘Hel(L)ish’ take, and it’s going to be something which has never been witnessed before. We invite all the quizzing enthusiasts from across all campuses to come and revel in the fiesta which is going to be Nihilanth ’17.
