Prepare yourselves for the ultimate battle of wits as Nihilanth 2024, the premier quiz fest of the nation, makes its triumphant return to the prestigious halls of the oldest IIM in the country, IIM Calcutta, from March 3 to 5 this year! With over 400 participants hailing from the elite ranks of top IITs and IIMs, this year's event promises to be an electrifying spectacle of knowledge and competition.
Over the course of three exhilarating days, participants will engage in a fierce contest across seven meticulously crafted quizzes, each helmed by renowned quiz masters such as the venerable Major Chandrakant Nair, the erudite Venkatesh Srinivasan, the dynamic Ria Chopra, the enigmatic Samanway Banerjee and other luminaries. Spanning a diverse array of topics including India, Science-Business-Tech, Music-Entertainment-Literature-Art, Travel-Living-Culture and Sports, Nihilanth guarantees an intellectual odyssey like no other.
Since its inception in 2004, Nihilanth has ascended to the pinnacle of Indian college quizzing, earning its reputation as the Olympics of intellectual prowess. Year after year, contingents from IITs and IIMs converge upon the host institute, vying for glory and prestige in a fierce battle of minds.
As the reigning champions, IIT Madras shoulders the weighty responsibility of defending their title following last year's resounding victory in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, IIM Calcutta seeks to reclaim the championship on home turf, their hunger for victory unabated since their triumph in 2011. Recalling their glorious triumph in 2019, when IIM Calcutta last hosted Nihilanth, IIT Kharagpur is determined to make a triumphant encore, while other institutions with their vibrant quizzing cultures and formidable talent pools are poised to challenge the favorites and spring unexpected surprises.
In the timeless spirit of competition, let the games begin and may the best team emerge victorious in this ultimate test of intellect and acumen!
