From these, the top 132 students—66 in each category—advanced to elimination rounds, narrowing down to the final eight finalists after intense quarterfinals and semifinals. The grand finale featured 78 gripping rounds across four segments: 60 Seconds of Fame, Zone of Power, Cowbellpedia Bank, and the decisive Dignitary Shots, judged by guest dignitary François Gillet, Managing Director of Promasidor Nigeria.
