EVALUATION CRITERIA
Evaluation will be done on the basis of Likes (Hearts) and Star Ratings received by the contestant.
​
1 Like = 1 Point
​
For RATING, the following method will be used for the calculation of the points-
If the overall rating is less than 2 out of 5 then, 1 Star = 0.5 Point
If the overall rating is between 2.1 to 4 out of 5 then, 1 Star = 1 Point
If the overall rating is more than 4.1 out of 5 then, 1 Star = 1.5 Points
​
A minimum of 10 numbers of ratings should have been there to be eligible to get points from your ratings.
A minimum of 150 points is required to be eligible for final evaluation.
​
Suppose, a contestant receives 28 Likes and 4.2 overall rating out of 5 from 20 people.
28 Like = 28 Points
20 x 4.2 = 84 stars x 1.5 = 126
Total Points = 154
