The Grand Final Round takes place in the afternoon of April 11, 2021. The judging panel, consists of senior corporate management from NWS and teachers from participating universities, will select the winning teams (Champion, 1st Runner-up and 2nd Runner-up) among the four finalists. Best Presenter will also be identified. The Champion will be offered internship opportunities in NWS from June to August 2021.
