However, after the Indian beauty pageant winners win Femina Miss India pageant, they can further participate in the Miss Universe pageant and the runner-up to the Miss World contest. In 2007, the organization changed this rule to send the winner to Miss World and the first runner-up to Miss Universe. Traditionally, the second-runner up or other independent Indian beauty pageant winners are sent for the less prominent international pageants such as Miss Asia, Miss International and Miss Asia-Pacific. From 1997, the practice of choosing a single winner or "Miss India" was changed to instead elect representatives to the different positions of Indian beauty pageant winners on international platform.

Since 2002, the third Indian beauty pageant winners is no longer sent to Miss Asia-Pacific, but to the Miss Earth pageant, which is currently recognized as one of the three most prestigious beauty pageant winners in the world.
