If two of the three judges say yes and they secure at least 50 percent of the support of the grand jury, then the contestant progresses to the next round.
In the Gala round, the judges select the student of the week who they consider the best performer. The contestant gets to sit on a 'flying sofa', which indicates that the contestant is safe from next week's elimination.
The audience vote will come in later in the competition. The contestant with the highest votes in the final round will win the competition.Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs 2017 - Format
