Abhivyakti – The Debate Competition

“It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without
debating it.”

Hence, let’s open up our minds and question the narrative! With logic and reasoning by
our side, we, at MEDSICON 2023, invite you to register and participate in ABHIVYAKTI –
The Debate Competition. Showcase your intellectual skills and enthusiasm, and be
rewarded for your literary and verbal ingenuity. Seize the opportunity to blow away the
audience and judges with your passion and perseverance.

Rules

  • The topic for the debate will be disclosed later, well in time for the participants to prepare.
  • The debate will be bilingual, that is, in English as well as in Hindi. Each participant, however, must choose one language to speak in. Failure to adhere to one language in a speech will lead to deduction of marks.
  • Each participant will be given a total of 4 minutes to present his/her argument. A warning bell will be rung after 3 minutes and twice at 4 minutes. Crossing the time limit will also cause deduction of marks.
  • The speech shall be followed by a rebuttal round in which each speaker must answer questions in his/her chosen language.
  • Any aggressive manner of speaking, including use of provocative language, colloquial slangs and thumping of desks shall lead to deduction of marks. The decision of the judges shall be final and binding.

Prizes

  • For top three speakers
  • For best interjection question
