Sushil Kumar answers, The process started in May and I sent an SMS. the computer randomly selects the mobile number and asks 3 questions and if you answer all of them correctly you are called for an audition. The audition are n 3 rounds. The first round has 10 question. The second round has 40page bio-data and then questions are asked. The last round is a where they shoot a video to know how confident you are in front of a camera. Thats how you reach the list of final contestents in KBC
