The first round was Tongue twister and 12 teams were short listed for the second round. The second round name was “Word Magix”. The round was to test the memory of the students. After the second round, 6 teams were shortlisted for the third round. The third round was “Guess the Song”. The English Translation of famous Malayalam songs were given and the students were asked to identify. The winner was obvious after the third round but there was a tie for the second and the third place. Therefore, there was a Tie Breaker round which was a logical Question. Hence, the second and the third place were fixed. The winners of the competition were Shiva and Mohammed Ufoor ( III Psycology), the second place Midhun and Aleena (III BCA), the third place Kevin and Sidhu (III ACCA).
Hence the programme came to a conclusion. It was evident that the students really enjoyed the programme. Vote of thanks was rendered by the HOD Mr. Satish Nair.
