Admission Evaluation (Episodes 1–2)
After the producers in the Producer Zone watch the Admission Evaluation performances, they will evaluate them by either choosing them by selecting 'O' or rejecting them with an 'X'. If a contestant gets chosen by all producers, they get placed in Grade 1; if they are chosen by two to three producers, they receive Grade 2; and if they are chosen by only one or none of the producers, they are assigned to Grade 3. Grade 3 contestants' admission will be put on hold for the time being and they become candidates for elimination, while Grade 1 and Grade 2 passed the admission evaluation and can enter the dorm.
Bold numbers are contestants whose performances were partially or entirely unaired during the episode broadcast. Full versions of the performances will be released on Naver NOW after the Admission Evaluation ends.

Third Semester – Idols' Expertise Field Mission (Episode 5–6)
For the third semester, Jin-young served as the main producer.
Each song has a set number of contestants for each position: Dance, Vocal and Rap. Vocal positions take the vocal and ad lib sections. Dance positions take the dance break section. Rap positions must show their capabilities through rap making.
The first three contestants who are able to pick their choice of song were based on a pre-match unknowingly carried out in the morning before the mission announcement. The highest karaoke scores determined first place for vocal and rap positions, and dance position's first place was chosen by Random Play Dance. The first three contestants is as follows: Moon Hyun Bin (dance), Hikaru (vocal), and Seo Sang Woo (rap).
The remaining order of contestants to pick their chosen song & position were based on a lucky draw. Contestants can also challenge an already occupied position through a 1:1 battle, where the other members of the same song can chose whom to take into their team.
The contestants who take first place in either vocal, rap, or dance positions over the other contestants in the same position will receive a benefit of 10,000 points each. The members of the same team as the first place contestants will also receive a benefit of 5,000 points each.
Total individual points are added in the following way: Onsite audience votes are multiplied by 500, plus online global voting score, plus any benefits gained from winning first place (position benefit and team benefit).

Fourth Semester – Teamwork Mission (Episode 7–8)
For the fourth semester, Kang Seung-yoon served as the main producer.
Each team will have seven members and contestants are free to choose the team members they want. Each team is also responsible of creating their own choreography. Songs are chosen in a first come first served basis, in the order that the team creation is completed.
During the interim evaluation, one member will be released from each of the four teams of seven, excluding the team that won first place. The three released members is then to join the My First and Last team, which was the last team formed with the remaining four contestants.
Team scores are given by adding the scores of the live audience, producers and trainers. Benefits are given based on the team rankings: 1st place will receive benefits for all members, 2nd place will receive benefits for three members, 3rd place team for two members, 4th place for one member, and last place receives no benefits. The leader of each team will decide who receives the benefit. The benefit scores will be four times more than the number of live votes.
