These questions are asked to judge the knowledge, intelligence and eloquence of a participant. A beauty pageant winner cannot just be beautiful by looks only; she must be intelligent and know how to speak with an objective. The question round in a beauty pageant is one of great importance; it is in this round that the potential winners are chosen based on their answers.

The personal interview and the onstage questioning round together, count for 30% of the contestant’s total score. The contestant is marked on confidence, relevance of the answer, way of speech, tone spoken in, grammar and the content.
