CIVICLASH
(By Tanisha Pradhan and Satyajit Mohanty)
Day 1 of Sannidhya 2017 witnessed a quizzing event called Civiclash. The prelims round was held at around 11 AM in D105. Around 13 teams participated in the prelims round. 20 questions were asked in this round, out of which 17 were in a written format, and 3 were in visuals. The questions were mostly general knowledge based, basically on Civil Engineering stuffs like Buildings, Structures, Monuments, Construction Firms, etc. At the end of the session, the answers were told to the participants.
The finals were conducted on Day 3, in which 5 teams had qualified from the prelims round. The finals was of a face-off type. There were five stages in the finals. The first was random picking of cards consisting of technical, general and current affairs questions on Civil Engineering. Participants had to choose between those, the condition being that those were hidden under certain symbols.
The second stage was a visual round in which the participants had to identify the structures shown in the pictures. The third stage was a descriptive round in which the participants had to write down the solutions of civil related logical questions in one or two lines. The fourth stage was a force round. The fifth stage was a hangman round — a ‘fill in the blanks’ type of round with clue revelation. The finals were completely computer app controlled.
At the end, Sarada Prasanna Nayak and Shubham Mohapatra became the winners, while Ronisha Das and Parakh Tripathy became the runners-up.

TREASURE HUNT
By Sweta Tripathy and Sailesh Singh
Treasure spotted! All senses alert.. They went helter skelter rampaging every nook and corner. Such was the scenario on the first day of sannidhya in the treasure hunt event taking place in front of the stage area at around 2 pm. Eleven odd teams of two or three had taken part and interesting rounds were introduced with a view to making the journey to the treasure, more exciting!
In the first round, the teams were given three riddles. The top ten teams to submit the answers were promoted to the next round. In the second round, the teams were given another 4 riddles. The top 4 teams to submit the answers were promoted to the final round. Finally, all the seven answers provided clue to the location of the treasure. The team to find the treasure first was to be the winner. After neck to neck competition among the teams, the team of RG Ipleeka, Swagatika Sahu and Satyajyoti Acharya emerged out victorious. They were given a cash prize of 500 rupees. This event was a grand success with much effort of all the coordinators.
The 3-day extravaganza came to an end with all the events being organized successfully. Kudos to the co-ordinators who put in a lot of effort to turn this fest into a huge success.
They will be back again next year to enthral us all.
