Deem Dilemma — HR Case Study Competition by SSCBS, Delhi University

Deem Dilemma is a human-resources case study contest organised by Team Anthropos at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS), University of Delhi. Instead of a single written entry, it puts student teams through three competitive rounds that reward analytical thinking and practical problem solving on realistic HR scenarios.

The contest is deliberately open in who it lets in. Teams can be built across different institutions anywhere in India, and a team can be as small as one member or as large as three. Each student may be part of only one team, and the team's composition and details are frozen once the first round of submissions is over.

Entries are handled through the competition's Unstop listing, and registration closes on April 24, 2026. Since Deem Dilemma is a competitive event rather than a grant, loan or investment scheme, no fixed funding figure is published — the draw is the format, the case work and the campus final in Delhi.

• HR-focused case study competition run by Team Anthropos at Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, University of Delhi.
• Open to students across India; teams of 1 to 3 members, with cross-institutional teams allowed.
• Three rounds: a 15-minute online quiz, a two-day case study submission, and an on-campus final in Delhi.
• The top 6 teams from Round 2 present before the judging panel at the SSCBS campus.
• Registration closes on April 24, 2026.
• No DPIIT or MSME registration needed — this is a student competition, not a funding scheme.

Deem Dilemma is open to students from institutions across India, and teams are allowed to be cross-institutional — members do not have to come from the same college or university.

• Team size: minimum 1 and maximum 3 participants.
• A student cannot be part of more than one team.
• Once the first round of submissions is made, no team can modify its composition or details.
• There is no DPIIT or MSME registration requirement, because this is a student case competition rather than a startup funding scheme.

All decisions about eligibility rest with Team Anthropos, the organising body at SSCBS.
