Judging Criteria

The SIC judging is a peer review process. The panel members from diverse backgrounds are instructed to scrutinize the profiles based on scores & entries from 0 to 100, using the criteria. The ARA aggregates the scores to determine each category. The panel decision is final and binding. For each category of award title in each discipline the expert committee will select 3 nominees. However the Apex Committee reserve the rights to honor less or more than 3 nominees in any category who meet standards set by the expert committee.

The committee will use discretion if an individual is nominated for two concurrent awards and will move the nomination to appropriate category based on their judgment. If a nominee meets the criteria for an award, other than the one nominated for, the committee will be deciding to move the nomination to a suitable category.
