Tata Crucible

Wow what a finish both Tata Internal track n external track went till the last question at Tata Crucible Hyderabad.

Well I guess Giri would have a decided to make prelims damn tough. The cutoff would be somewhere near 10-12 with highest near 15.

Prelims this time is more of trivia n history than current affairs

Winners: The Tata Track was won by the TCS team who where runner ups from last 3 years. They defeated a young TCS team. Three teams had a chance to win on the last question.

External: A consistent Satyam team of Murali and Bharghav defeated another Satyam team. Finally a Hyderabad team won the Hyderabad leg this year
