Information to membersInformation to members

No. of members

in a group is depends on total members present. However maximum will be ‘5’.

Since quiz is prepared on 4 parts, comprising of basic mechanical, Electrical, Stage –

I and

Stage –

II related questions,

it will be easy to it will be easy to grab more marksgrab more marks

if team is formed with

above background.

If anybody is other than Mech

/ Elec,

choice is left them.

The question will be displayed on screen.

1st

question is asked to Team ‘A’

and Team ‘A’

could

answer it within the given time of 30 sec,30 sec,

then Team ‘A’

will be getting 5

marks.

If team –

A could not answer within the time, answer will be displayed automaticallyautomatically

on screen.

Then next question will be posed to Team ‘B’

and same process continues. No negative Markings.

If any discussion / clarification is required for a particular question, it will be discussed after it will be discussed after completion of quiz.completion of quiz.
