Year on year, the participating teams give Tata Crucible campus quiz a new stature and magnitude. The preparations by teams are undertaken months in advance and this is apparent from questions, which were cracked by the teams. The teams battled it out by the skin of their teeth to triumph, bringing out their passion in quizzing.

The quiz lived up to its reputation and this year introduced a new format of quizzing called ‘Nano Quizzing’ giving the Indian youth a refreshing new way to stimulate their minds.

Also, the youth today refer to Nano in the context of speed - which is an important attribute required in quizzing and is a hallmark of Tata Crucible Campus Quiz 2008.
