There is a specific kind of student this event is looking for. Not the one with the highest CGPA. Not the one who has memorised the most frameworks. Not the one who presents well. The one who -when the situation gets complicated, the information gets thin, and the clock keeps moving -makes the call. ARKK – The Rebuild Protocol is VIT Business School's management simulation conducted as part of INVICTUS'26 at graVITas'26. It is the year 2038. A global disaster has destroyed governments, businesses, supply chains, and the economy. ARKK is searching for the best teams to provide the rebuild authority. Only one team will receive the Tier 1 authority and resources to rebuild the future. Over two days, your team will face an escalating crisis -round after round -where every decision compounds and nothing is forgotten. What you do in one round shape what you face in the next. The pressure builds. The stakes rise. And by the end, there will be no doubt about which team deserves the title. You will be tested on what you actually do when it matters.Open to every stream, every college. If your team believes they have it -this is where they prove it.

Teams are evaluated across the entire competition on a 1000-point cumulative scoring system spanning all six rounds -a mix of objective results and structured judge rubrics -so no single round decides the winner. Competencies assessed: •Decision quality -under pressure and with incomplete information •Prioritisation & resource allocation -under real constraints • Team coordination & delegation -across shifting demands •Adaptability & composure -when the situation changes •Negotiation & communication -with competing teams • Leadership -that emerges when it's required The Day-1 total decides the Top-8 cut; the highest overall total wins. Ties are broken using predefined round level rules. Judges score observable teamwork and reasoning -never presentation polish or business jargon.
