These studies have helped them hone a unique and focused investing process that can be summarized in four letters, 'QGLP'. Q denotes Quality of the business and management, G denotes Growth in earnings and sustained RoE, L denotes Longevity of the competitive advantage or economic moat of the business and P denotes our approach of buying a good business for a fair price rather than buying a fair business for a good price.

Participants needed to familiarize themselves with the QGLP process of investing, pick an investment idea and give their rationale in a prescribed format.

All applications were evaluated on the following five criteria:

1. Applicability of QGLP principles
2. Quality of idea
3. Depth of analysis/insights
4. Financial workings/model
5. Quality of Presentation

The top three teams will receive prizes and the presentations will be covered on CNBC TV18.
