Adjudication & Panel Feedback
The competition was evaluated by an esteemed panel of judges consisting of Ms. Noyonika Banerjee and Ms. Urvasi Singh. The panel highly praised the creative execution of all houses, sharing the following core insights during the closing ceremony:
• Practical Application: The judges remarked that seeing abstract economics visualized dynamically on stage made the subject uniquely accessible, educational, and fun.
• Pedagogical Shift: Both panelists noted that while these complex theories are traditionally confined to textbooks, the live theatrical format successfully bridged the gap between theory and real-world observation.
