The contest will consist of three stages.

• Stage I: Eight participants will be shortlisted based on summative assessments.
• Stage II: The top four participants will be selected based on summative assessments.
• Stage III: Through knockout finals, the best three participants will be chosen.
  • This stage is a direct elimination round.
  • The four finalists (selected from Stage II) will compete against each other in a series of knockout matches.
  • Each match will determine a winner who advances and a loser who is eliminated.
  • The process continues until three participants remain.
