Opportunity brief
Stake to Success is a two-stage, team-based finance event. Teams of 3-4 members from the same institution first compete across a 3-round quiz (Beginner, Intermediate, and a fund-building Hard round), then enter into an Investment Portfolio stage where they allocate capital across companies and present their reasoning.
Guidelines:
- Open to all UG and PG students; participation is team-based only, with each team consisting of 3-4 members from the same institution.
- Team composition cannot be changed after registration, and teams must bring their own laptops.
- Stage 1 (Quiz) runs across 3 rounds of increasing difficulty — Beginner, Intermediate, and Hard — and teams must qualify in each round to advance. Qualification criteria for Round 1 are revealed on the event day.
- In Round 3 (Hard), teams choose one sector — Stock Market, Corporate Finance, Current Affairs, or others — and answer 10 questions from that area, starting with a fund of ₹20,00,000.
- Correct answers add ₹1,00,000 and wrong answers deduct ₹1,00,000 per question; all 10 questions must be answered.
- The fund a team ends Round 3 with becomes their investable capital for Stage 2 (Investment Portfolio).
- Stage 2 gives teams 1.5 hours to allocate their fund across companies and prepare a PowerPoint presentation justifying each choice.
- Quiz Rounds 1 & 2 are evaluated on accuracy and speed; Round 3 on final fund amount; the Investment Portfolio on allocation quality, clarity, logic, and relevance of reasoning.
- The decision of the judges, quizmaster, and organising committee is final and binding, and organisers reserve the right to change the event format if required.
Rules
- Team must have 3-4 members, all from the same institution, fixed at registration.
- All 10 questions in Round 3 must be answered; each correct answer is +₹1,00,000 and each wrong answer is −₹1,00,000.
- Investable capital in Stage 2 equals the exact fund balance carried forward from Round 3 — no additional funds are provided.
- Presentation format must be PowerPoint, clearly outlining allocations and justification for each company or asset chosen.
- Terms and conditions apply, as specified by the organising committee.
