New Format

This year saw a change in the format of the fbb Colors Femina Miss India contest, with the competition travelling to all 30 states of the country to hunt for the best talent from each state. The winners were mentored by four celebrities -

• Neha Dhupia (North Zone)
• Parvathy Omnakuttan (South Zone)
• Dipannita Sharma (East Zone)
• Waluscha de Sousa (West Zone)

The state winners further participated in the grand finale of fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2017.The process started with auditioning Miss India aspirants from each state, where three girls from every state were selected to go forward to the zonal stage. The zonal ceremonies were held in Delhi (North Zone), Bengaluru (South Zone), Kolkata (East Zone) and Pune (West Zone). Each zonal ceremony had the three state finalists from the respective states under that zone competing for the state crown. The Femina Miss India Organisation has waved off the Bikini round for audition. So, there will be no Swimsuit competition for the aspirants this year onwards.

The organisation has also brought down the height criteria to 5.5" and above.
