Experience And Learning-
Our Experience was very good, we went to Bhopal and from there we took our train at 2’O clock AM to Dharwad, Karnataka. In Train we met with so many people and we became friends then we enjoyed a lot in train. On 13thOct. 2017 at 6:30 AM we reached Dharwad, where 2 coordinators came to pick us up to Hotel then we took Breakfast at nearby restaurant and whole day we practiced for Moot Court Competition.The main problem with us was the food available in Dharwad as the main staple was Rice and not Chapati.

Along with this we learned a lot there like,
·How to behave during such Competition
·What are etiquettes to present ourselves before Honb’le Supreme Court.
·How to give answer to Honb’le Judges.

·During prayer we should stand up.
·Always refer Books and apply Flags on books.
·Noting down the points of opposite side Counsel.
·Etc.

The main reason for not selecting us for Quarter Final Rounds was that, Our Issue was wrong, our Prayer was wrong our Etiquettes was wrong.
But then also we were able to secure 8thRank out of 21 Teams of Respondent Side.

We can proudly say that we are better than some of the teams which was selected for Quarter Final Rounds as we were able to answer all those question which was asked to the Teams during Quarter Final Rounds.
Then we heard full Final Rounds before Former Chief Justice of India T.S. Thakur which was really amazing.


Then we got certificate from him and we took pictures.
