Opportunity brief
What is Monty quiz?
- On 3rd June 2019, one of our finest alumni Flight Lieutenant Sunit Mohanty was martyred when his AN-32 aircraft crashed near Pari Hills in Arunachal Pradesh. He was a brave pilot, a great personality, and a true gentleman in every sense. And he was one of the best quizzers in the history of NIT Jamshedpur.
- So, in his loving memory, his friends and our institute came up with the idea of Monty Quiz. So keeping up with the words, "Say not in grief ' He is no more but in thankfulness that he was", NIT Jamshedpur is ready to relive the legacy of Flight Lieutenant Sunit Mohanty and host teams from every corner of the country.
