The second edition of the TCS IT Wiz at Mumbai, reflected a marked
improvement in the performance of all the teams that took part in the
quiz. The teams were part of the prelim that comprised of 20 questions
from across the world of IT.
The prelim led to the top six teams, who were:
Mumbai Champions, Dhirubhai Ambani Intl. School Boys.
Lokhandwala Foundation School - Vikraman & Mustafa Ahmed Army School - Varun S & Karthik G Navy Childrens School - Srinidhi B & Vishal Yadav Dhirubhai Ambani Intl. School - Neil & Sanchay J Arya Vidya Mandir - Mohit M & Arnav T Lilavatibai Podar - Harsh Vedant & Karan Kamath
Excitement rent the air as the quizmaster read out the answers to the
prelims and the Mumbai final began with Pickbrain acknowledging the
performance of a few teams that narrowly missed the final. As the
rounds unfolded, the team from Dhirubhai Ambani Int.School took an
early lead while all the other teams were moving in a cluster with
nearly equal scores.
In the third and fourth rounds of the quiz Dhirubhai Ambani Int.School
surged ahead with truly remarkable answers and a few passes that they
were gifted with. While it seemed like a convincing win for them, the
unthinkable happened in the final round.
In the final round of the quiz, Lokhandwala
Foundation School came back in style with consecutive answers on the
buzzer and suddenly with one final question left the quiz seemed to be
slipping away from Dhirubhai Ambani Int.School.

However, they held their nerve to win the Mumbai title. The guest of
honour, Dr.Gita Piramal, distributed the prizes, the laptops to the
winners and appreciated them for the outstanding performance.
