NiE Fun-Da-Mental, considered Pune's biggest schools quiz in terms of participation (around 120 schools) and prizes (this time, i-pods and GVs were given as prizes) has been organised by Times of India's Newspapers in Education (NiE) for over 10 years now. Earlier there would be semifinals and a grand finale with a celebrity QM but for the past few years the finals have been conducted b Brian Tellis. This time there were no semis but a direct 6-team final after elims.

thanks for the report. looks like the fabulous rivalry between AV and KHSS continues! We should seriously think of having a univ challenge-style face-off between these two talented teams. Can we talk to the respective schools and do it in march?

Try adding Symbi, Loyola, Vikhe Patil and a few others to the mix as well. interesting idea. I think you could talk to them, but March isn't the best time with board exams coming up. maybe June/July would be better.

I think Symbiosis also has a pretty strong team!

This is Siddharth J, a member of KHS quizzing team.
KHS would take away the title in 2009, beating all its arch rivals:be it Abhinav, be it Symbi.
