Judges and Judging*Analysis*

Last week we saw marked difference on the way the judges gave marks. In comming weeks we may see that they give uttam or attiuttam to canditates who have cosistantly got sarvottam. So, I tried to analyse why this would happen.

Now we have only 5 kids who we can say as the best of the lot or the topmost cream. And everyone will agree that all of them are very talented. The problem is now to differentiate between the best. So the scales of marking have changed to make the competition tougher and selection easier. For example IIM might have 20 seats. Thousands will give exam which will have a range of questions - from easy to difficult. They select top 50 all of them are more or less equally intelligent. Then they have various other kinds of selection like GD's and prelimnary... Once these 20 are selected they go through semester exams which have to rank(grade) these intelligent students. They cannot have the same scales the exams become tougher. Out of 20 some might get 60% and few 80%. It does not mean the 60% one's are not intelligent, it just means that the way the scores are given or the scales are changed to find the topper of bests.

So, I would expect judges to give uttams and attiuttams to kids who make even minor sur taal mistakes. If they keep on giving Sarvottam then there will be no reason for them to sit there and everything will depend on Junta ke votes. And I will appreciate if they vary their scales and give sarvottam to only the most deserving. This is neck to neck competition now and only that way the super sarvottam kid will win.How do you like this analysis?? 😊 I infact liked the way they marked the kids on Fri and Sat.

First of all sorry to say but there are seven left still. The show got stretched with two extra entries 😛

Now as your theory yes I somehow agree with it. The judges now need to get really strict. Out of seven if five get Sarvottam - even though say 2 had made minor mistakes, then end result goes into the hands of public.

But with that one more thing is needed. Disparity in the marking among the three judges needs to be stopped. We have seen earlier how they gave ratings to the same contestant. One gives 90+ another say 80. Three of them need to chalk out what ratings to give among themselves and then announce instead of adding up the marks.

I too think that the judges need to get more strict from here on.. and I do see some of that happening in the last week.. We saw more Uttams and Atiuttams last week that we usually see... Some of it may look unfair given judge's lenient marking previously, but that is how they need to go! I completely agree with the Uttams and the Atiuttams that Prakriti and Aishwarya got this saturday as they had faltered as much.. However, I still continue to think that the judges seem somehow biased against Rigved.. There was no reason he should have got a Madhyam on Friday!

Having 3 separate marks from the 3 judges is fine with me, as they may have a different perspective of marking and they need to have that independence.. Ultimately, they are anyway summing/averaging it out.. so that should be fine..

Definately Jaya, I agree with you. There was no need to give madhium to Rigved. Considering that a madhium was never given on the show. He is definately at par with vyom or prakriti.
