2016
Jigyasa 2016 was conducted on the 31st of January. With a total of
over 170 participants from colleges all over Mumbai and Pune, it was a
great success.
The first round consisted of questions across Physics, Chemistry,
Mathematics and Biology, and was an individual examination. Based
on an individual as well as group cut-off, the top 10 teams were selected
to proceed to the second round. Five of these were from CBS. The
questions in this round were to be solved by the group as a whole and
consisted of analytical and experimental problems.
The stage round was conducted in the Department of Physics seminar
hall, University of Mumbai. Five teams, from Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay,
Institute of Chemical Technology and Centre for Excellence
in Basic Sciences competed. IIT-Bombay bagged the first prize, and second
place was shared by two teams from CBS. Cash prizes upto Rs. 24000 were
awarded to the top 3 teams and the finalists were also presented with event
T-shirts.
Jigyasa would not have been a success without the help of Mr. Kishore
Menon, Prof. Ameeya Bhagwat and Prof. R. V. Hosur in organising the
event, and all the faculty of CBS who helped in verifying the question paper
for the first round. The event was sponsored by Bank of Baroda.
