practical understanding of how businesses, markets, and financial systems function, helping
build analytical thinking and real-world awareness.
The quiz at MET reflected this vision by providing an engaging platform for students to apply
their knowledge in a competitive format. The pen-and-paper quiz rounds focused primarily on
businesses and companies, testing participants on general business awareness, corporate
concepts, and selected financial topics. The event effectively combined learning with
competition, motivating students to move beyond textbook concepts and engage with practical,
industry-relevant knowledge.
During the Quiz, the Participants were assessed on business awareness, corporate knowledge,
and core financial concepts, encouraging analytical thinking and quick decision-making. An
audience question-and-answer segment further enhanced engagement and interaction.
