The Indian team for the international round, comprising two main quizzers and one standby, will be selected by a distinguished jury. All 16 semi-final teams will get an opportunity to visit the Naval Dockyard and interact with naval personnel onboard ships and submarines.

The international round will feature invitees from G20 nations, with each country nominating a team of two students from Classes IX to XII and their equivalent. The quiz will be conducted in English and will conform to international standards.
