India’s only Tier II moot, the DM Harish Memorial International Moot Court Competition 2017, saw the revival of MPL VI champion NLU Jodhpur - which had been conspicuously absent since winning the Stetson India rounds.
However, Jodhpur was eventually defeated in the finals by Christ University, School of Law.
The The Christ team consisted of Aditya Mitra, Kruthika R and Shruthi Balki.
The NLU Jodhpur team was made up of speaker Lakshana Viravalli (who also won best speaker of the finals), speaker Sreelakshmi S, and researcher Atyotma Gupta.
GNLU Gandhinagar and Howard University School of Law were the other semi-finalists at the moot.
Further consolidating its strong performance at GIMC 2017, Symbiosis Pune picked up a solid 20 points at the moot, winning the best memorial citation (the second one this season for the college after GIMC last week).
NUJS Kolkata team member Tanusmita Ghosal, meanwhile, bagged the best researcher citation, amassing 20 points for the law school.

Post DMH Table Analysis
Being a Tier II moot, DMH 2017 has flushed various citation holders with points and shuffled the MPL standings drastically. NUJS Kolkata has moved 4 places to the 2nd position, and apart from its M C Chagla best speaker citation, every single point earned by the law school comes from a Tier III or a Tier II international moot, demonstrating its strong presence in the international moot category.
SLS Pune on the other hand has moved to the 3rd position from its erstwhile 7th rank, based on very strong Tier IV performance, finishing as semi-finalists in three different domestic moots, and a runner-up at Jessup India rounds.

Even nluo moot hasn't been tested by time.
Moreover, Tankha is an old moot which was discontinued earlier but NLIU has again started it. However, I refrain from commenting over JGLS.
PS: NUSRL Moot? Do they even conduct one?
The team members of SLCU are:
Aditya Mitra
Kruthika R
Shruthi Balki

We confirmed the results from GLC Mumbai who gave us the name of Mr. Chaitanya Sundriyal as the best researcher. Could you please get in touch with Ms. Tanusmita Ghosal and ask her to send a picture of her certificate to us?
Thanks.
Thanks for pointing this out. Have corrected the error and GNLU has received 2 points for the Tier IV moot.
