Note that once a new topic is announced, new entries for an older topic shall not be taken into account. Also, new ratings for an article on a previous topic shall not be taken into account once a new topic has been declared.
  • The top articles are judged based on ratings. A minimum of 5 ratings are required for an article to qualify for the contest.Note that the ratings shall follow FirstQuarto terms and conditions. Rating of an article is calculated by taking into account the rater's credibility. Garnering frivolous and ill-judged ratings in large numbers does not ensure a high rating for an article unless the raters have a high credibility. For more information, kindly read our full documentation here. Also, note that you need to be a registered user on FirstQuarto to rate an article. So, essentially, Facebook likes, Twitter tweets etc. do not contribute towards rating.
  • To get started, and create a Tryst-2013 ID if you do not already have one, kindly register with Tryst 2013, IIT Delhi here.
