So what exactly do the business schools do in this competetion ?

a) Who can staple more paper sheets together in 30 seconds
b) Who can tell where Srilanka on Map
c) Or do they do any debates on any topics
d) Who can eat more hotdogs

I mean what exactly is the format of these competitions

Great honor but , I am little bit uneducated about these competetions if anyone has more info on how these competetions are graded it would make more sense what kind of knowledge is judged.

But still a great honor

Unfortunately, the point of going to famous schools is not so much what you learn, but who you meet there. It's a chicken-and-egg, snowball kinda effect.

Successful alumni tend to favor graduates from their old alma mater, who then go on to become successful themselves, and the cycle repeats.
