BNXT Competition 2026
Thakur Institute of Management Studies & Research organized the B-NXT Competition 2026 for the students of MMS Batch 2025–2027. The competition aimed to provide students with an experiential learning platform to apply classroom concepts to real-world business challenges and develop industry-relevant competencies. The competition featured two tracks: Track A – Wealth Management & Investment Advisory Challenge and Track B – Equity Research & Company Valuation and was conducted in three stages.
The competition was launched on 10 August 2026, introducing students to its objectives, structure and participation guidelines. Track A participants registered in teams of 4–6 members, while Track B participants underwent a Finance Domain Test. From 18 to 28 August, teams engaged in product development, market research, financial analysis and investment evaluation.
The first round of faculty evaluation was conducted on 4 September 2026, with 30 teams from Track A and 25 teams from Track B participating. A total of 35 teams (20 from Track A and 15 from Track B) qualified for the Grand Finale. The shortlisted teams also received guidance and industry insights from alumni mentors on 12 September 2026 to refine their submissions.
The Grand Finale, held on 17 October 2026, featured presentations by all 35 shortlisted teams before panels comprising industry professionals and alumni. Teams were evaluated on research quality, financial understanding, analytical skills, practical application, strategic recommendations and presentation skills. The event concluded with the announcement of winners and runners-up across both tracks, followed by the distribution of awards and certificates.
B-NXT Competition 2026 provided students with valuable exposure to practical business challenges while strengthening their financial acumen, analytical thinking, decision-making, teamwork and presentation skills.
