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 choose 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).

Final (Episode 10–11)

The two teams Black Perfume and SWITCH performed their songs "Gesture" and "Shut Off" respectively at MBC's Show! Music Core on June 3, prior to the release of the episode 11.

The two teams are divided with the top 2 ranked contestants (the two boys who got the most global votes from Semester 1 to Semi-final round minus the benefits) as the team representatives, Hong Seong-min and Yu Jun-won. The two representatives picks their own team members, with Jun-won picking his team members first. A physical competition also took place where the first team to win two games will get to choose the song they want for the final mission.

After each performance, voting by the on-site audience and producers is conducted, where they are also to cast votes for multiple contestants if they wish to do so. The total individual on-site votes are calculated with each audience vote and each producer vote are multiplied by 10. The team with the higher average of on-site votes will receive a benefit of 2,000 points for each team member.

The total points for the finale round and to determine the final debut members is as follows: final mission score, finale benefit if gained, online global votes, offline special votes multiplied by 100, and live text votes multiplied by 30.

Episode 11 was broadcast live on June 8, 2023 where the finale and live text voting took place to determine the final 12 contestants.
