The Jury

The last step in deciding the winners for the Best IT Implementation awards is the jury

meet. The PCQuest team presents the shortlisted projects to the jury. Plus, A synopsis of

what the previous year’s juries have done and the yardsticks they used is shared with

the jury. After that, it’s up to the jury to decide the winners. The jury comprises

of representatives from the IT industry, IT users, and media. One member of the jury is

chosen from the last year’s winners. Another thing that was ensured during the

deliberations was to avoid any conflict of interest. So in case a jury member was involved

in any of the projects, then that

person was requested to withdraw from that particular discussion.
