I was present at the occasion when the first prize had to be shared between two winners! I remember seeing this on few other occasions!
What surprised me was when the judges mentioned that inspite of them having been judged in five domains by three judges, their final scores were the same !
It brings in a new dimension of the intensity of competition! the competition is often between the able and talented!
I have a suspicion, from the news item I read last week about a student getting all the answers correct for the IIT entrance test, that merit needs to be decided by looking at other domains than just academic marks or performance scores alone!
