The quizmasters for the quizzing extravaganza were Karthikeya Ramesh, Subhav Duggal and Aryaman Nath. The quiz had three rounds. The teams gave a stiff competition to each other. Out of the 150 participating teams, 30 qualified. From the top 30, the top 6 teams were selected. And after a tough battle of brains, the top 3 position holders were announced. The top three teams that made it to the podium after dodging the questions were:
