The second stage of the selection process, the Mega Auditions, is a several-day-long process in which the 100 hopefuls are tested for overall well-rounded dance, stamina, and their ability to perform under pressure. If the dancer impressed the masters with his/her dancing abilities, masters will award a Hat called Taqdeer Ki Topi (Hat of Destiny), moving them instantly one step forward in the competition. The masters will then make an on-the-spot decision as to whether the dancer demonstrated enough ability. During this stage, dancers perform a brief routine (typically individually) before three masters. The cities in which auditions are held vary from season to season but some, such as New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata have featured in almost every season. The Open Auditions take place in 5–6 major Indian cities and are typically open to anyone aged 15–30 at the time of their audition. The selection process can be further broken down into two distinct stages: the Open Auditions and the second phase referred to as the Mega Auditions.
