Testimonials for TALK de BAIT

Lyceum, the Postgraduate Students’ Association of the Department of International Studies, Political Science and History, CHRIST (Deemed to be University) recently conducted TALK de BAIT, an online turncoat debate competition, successfully. Let’s take a look at the experiences of the top three participants of the competition. “The Debate was very well organized, it began on time and concluded on time—which is very rare for any event nowadays. I really loved the concept of the turncoat debate. I felt the debate was short and crispy, and feel happy on winning it. It was my last debate as a student and am proud to have ended my debating career as a student on a high note.” Tanishka Kumar (4 MAIS), Winner “I had a very fruitful learning experience at the debate, and it was my first time participating in a turncoat debate and the fact that we had to change our stance with every switch—made it all the more challenging. Honestly, I did not expect myself to finish in second place, and it was surprising to me that I made it to the top 3. The debate tested our oratory skills and pushed us to think on our feet. The presence of a huge online crowd put a little bit of pressure on me, but I got comfortable as the debate progressed.” Aman Pandey (2 MAIS), Second Place “It was my first ever turncoat debate, so I was quite nervous and somewhat confused regarding the procedure in the beginning. The organizers were very helpful and they tended to all my queries. The debate itself was interesting and thrilling. The debate having three rounds made it more exciting, and all the topics in the debate were of contemporary relevance. The debate was well organized and fun! Looking forward to participating in many more debates to come!” Rielza Tilling Bamin (2 MAIS), Third Place
