According to the organisers, the Miss Darjeeling contest is more than a beauty pageant: women who aspire to become Miss Darjeeling must be intelligent, well-mannered and cultured. Often a candidate has lost because she did not have a good answer during the interview rounds; although this section of competition has held less importance during recent pageants than it did in the twentieth century.
 
The Jugdes for Preliminary Round were:

Mr. Sid Agrawal,
Mr. Darpan Rai,
Mr. Mukesh Singh,
Mrs Nirmala Pradhan,
Mr. Phurba Lepcha and
Mr. Prem Gupta
