FORMAT RULES OF MASTER CHEF INDIA.

MasterChef India features a different format to that of the original British MasterChef and MasterChef Goes Large formats. Initial rounds consist of a large number of hopeful contestants from across India individually "auditioning" by presenting a food dish before the three judges to gain one of 50 semi-final places. Entrants must be over 18 years old and their whose main source of income cannot come from preparing and cooking fresh food in a professional environment.

The semi-finalists then compete in several challenges which test their food knowledge and preparation skills. In Season 1 and 2, the top 50 competed until 12 were left, with the final 12 progressing to the main stage of the show. The contestants will then be whittled down through a number of individual and team cooking challenges and weekly elimination rounds until a winning MasterChef is crowned. The winner plays for a prize that includes their own cookery show, the chance to have their own cookbook published, and 10,000,000 INR in cash.
