Quantiz the annual intra college Quants quiz contest was conducted successfully at SIMSR on 26th August,
2011. Quantiz is basically a contest which tests the individuals numeral thinking and memory for numbers
along with logical reasoning. The whole concept behind conducting such a Quiz is to keep the interest of
Quants alive amongst the students and to give them the opportunity to test their skills with numbers because sometimes we forget that an MBA student too has to be proficient with numbers be it any specialization such as Operations or Finance.
