The results of the in-depth interview along with the preliminary competition, which consisted of swimsuit and evening gown sections, determined the twenty semi-finalists to advance. The twenty semi-finalists competed in the swimsuit sections and were reduced to ten. These semi-finalists then competed in the evening gown section, from which the first five finalists were chosen and moved into the question-and-answer round. In addition, the online voting winner advanced as the sixth finalist. In case the online voting winner was already chosen by the judges, the direct entry would be given to the delegate with the second highest number of votes.{{cite Instagram|user=misscharm.tv|postid=DDweomVPPrf|title=Direct entry to the Q&A round|date=20 December 2024}} The six finalists competed in the interview questions, and were then reduced to three.
