This year the pageant had top fourteen semi finalists rather than the regular top ten. Likewise the final round saw top seven finalists instead of top five finalists. Also the final round was not a written question answer format. This time final round became an oral question answer round where the finalists faced one common question. Each girl spoke their answer while the remaining girls were kept busy with the head phones that kept away the girls from hearing the question been asked.
