HARMONEY – the finance club of MBA of CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Lavasa conducted  ‘FINIQ’ – an online Finance Quiz on Friday, 26th February 2021 from 4:30pm – 6pm through Cisco Webex.  UG students of CHRIST Lavasa campus were the participants of the quiz and all students of MBA Finance specialization were the audience. The event had 3 rounds based on various questions from the field of finance that were designed to test the knowledge of students in the finance domain. The organizers were Mr Jairaj Bohra of VI Trimester MBA Finance and Mr Vinay Kumar of III trimester MBA Finance and the scorer was Mr Amal Xavier Simon of III MBA Finance.
The quiz started at 4.30 PM with Mr Vinay Kumar welcoming the participants and audience and also introducing the rules and regulations. For the scoring purpose, an innovative concept of a virtual wallet with an initial balance of Rs 1000 was allotted to each team. The balance would increase with each right answer and would decrease with each wrong answer. 15 teams of 2 students each competed with each other in the different rounds.

The first round was a game based on slots and fortune. There were 6 slots of 5 questions each having some points value attached to them. Each team was expected to pick a question of their choice at random. They then had to answer the question within a stipulated time frame. Points attached to the question were awarded or deducted based on whether they answered correctly or not. The quiz master for this round was Mr Vinay Kumar.

The second round was Pounce and Bounce where each team was shown an image and a question followed related to that image. The catch was that they had to decide whether to attempt the question or to bounce it off to another team in case they did not want negative points. Each team was given 60 seconds to decide whether to attempt the question or not. The round witnessed high levels of excitement from participants.  The quiz master for this round was Mr Jairaj Bohra

The third round was a Buzzer round.  A series of images were shown together and the teams had to identify the common connection in those images. Two clues were given to the participants to identify the right answer. The right answer without any clues carried 100 points and the wrong answer carried -50 points. If the participants answered right after the first clue, they would get 80 points and lose 40 points if they answered wrong. The participants scored 60 points for the right answer after the second clue and they would lose 30 points for the wrong answer. The quiz master for this round was Ms Sarah D'souza of III MBA Finance.

The events were hotly contested with all the teams participating with enthusiasm. The winners were Mr Raunit Singh and Mr Akshar Menon of Team 6 with 2400 wallet points and the runners up were Mr Mohit Ghorawat and Mr Rishab Gang of team 1 with 1960 points. The winners received Rs 1000 and runners up received Rs 500 worth of gift vouchers.
