Nihilanth
IIM Indore is steeped in quizzing culture and one of its many manifestations is Nihilanth, which it launched in 2003. This premier quizzing festival brings together the best and the brightest from the country’s most prestigious institutes - the IITs and IIMs. It is students from these institutes who will go on to form the backbone of India's corporate world, be it on the technology side or on the management front. Nihilanth provides them a fitting platform to pit themselves against each other in a healthy, competitive manner before they go forth into the business world.
The unique aspect of Nihilanth is its rolling nature. It floats from one institute to another every year and hence, no one can claim ownership to the festival. This battle of brains and wits belongs as much to IIM Indore as to IIT Kharagpur. Nihilanth is thus positioned as the perfect event for enhancing interaction between the IITs and the IIMs under the banner of quizzing.
