The Miss Universe India organization officially unveiled the competition schedule for the Miss Universe India 2024 pageant on September 1, 2024 via its official social media handles. The event will commence on September 9 and culminate in a grand finale on September 22. The National Costume and Preliminary rounds are slated for 20 September 2024.[ citation needed ]
In early May, National Director Nikhil Anand announced on social media that contestants would be selected from each Indian state. Prominent figures from the business world and many beauty queens acquired franchises for various states. [5] [6] [7] [8]
Applications for contestants at the Miss Universe state level subsequently opened. Each state will independently conduct auditions, grooming sessions, styling sessions, training, and finalize their representative. The pageant announced that all women aged 18 and above will be eligible to compete. This reflected the Miss Universe organisation's changes to their eligibility criteria. Once all state representatives are announced, they will compete for the title of Miss Universe India at the grand finale, expected to be held in October 2024. Contestants from all Indian states and an Indian representative from the UAE will compete in the pageant. [9] [10]
A final round of auditions for Miss Universe Delhi 2024 was held in New Delhi on August 17th. The event was open to all girls who had missed the online registration or failed to win their respective state competitions. Spot registrations were also accepted between 10 AM and 12 PM IST. The contestants underwent multiple rounds of interviews, with participants who had achieved runner-up or finalist titles at state-level pageants being particularly encouraged to audition. At the end of the day, Sanjana Vij was crowned Miss Universe Delhi 2024. Notably, she had previously been the first runner-up at the Miss Universe Telangana 2024 pageant. Additionally, the event marked the official announcement of Miss Universe India representatives for the states of Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, and Tripura. Several contestants were chosen as wildcard entries to advance to the national finals.[ citation needed ]
The Miss Universe India 2024 pageant features 51 contestants: 31 state representatives, 14 wildcard entries, and 6 NRI delegates.
