2. Be An Economist

Think youre as rational a consumer as Mankiw expects? Have something to say

about the finance ministers stand on fiscal deficit? Then this is the event for you.

The only economic application event in the DU circuit that doesnt require a

profound knowledge of economic theory. All you need is an open and creative mind,

logic and intuition.

3. Quiz The Blisspoint Quiz is one of the trademark events of Sri Venkateswara College's Economics Festival. A general quiz with no specific theme, it brings together some of the best quizzers in an intense battle of wits. If you have a thirst for knowledge, and more importantly an insatiable need to prove it, then this is the place to be.

4. Dalal Street

The market is weird. Every time one guy sells, another one buys, and they both

think theyre smart.

Dalal Street, a mock stock exchange, an event that tests your mettle and drives you

to the very edge of your wits.

5. Un-Manageable

Do you think you can manage Apple better than Tim Cooks? Are you Steve Job's

reincarnate?

If managing a business, making profits and lobbying relentlessly is your cup of tea;

then under the management hierarchy, you will shine in this game as you discover

how to handle a business in a more practical sense!

Beware, 'game' is a misnomer. It's a cut-throat competition! Can you manage it?

6. Sell the Sizzle, Not the Steak

A marketing event. Coined by Edmund Wheeler, this aphorism reveals the crux of

marketing. Every product has a "sizzle", an X factor, a USP. Can you find the Sizzle?

7. Horse Trade

The Barter System was the earliest and the simplest forms of market exchange.

Think its that simple? Try it and find out!

8. Beg Borrow Steal An event which requires you to do search a list of items which will be given on the spot. All you need is some common sense and good running shoes
