In the team category, there were a total of 16 teams, with SCMS team lead by Abhijit Goud. Our team i.e. Abhijit, Somya & Anmol made it to the runner-up position in the team category by competing with others and giving their best in each challenge. It was a very proud moment for our team to accomplish in runner-up position because, for the past 8 years, no one was able to achieve this feat. Our team got the rewards/prizes for securing the runner-up position in team category.
