The schools were grouped into three pots, with Pot A made up of the 27 seeded schools from the 2020 edition of the NSMQ.
The other 54 qualifiers from the Preliminary Stage were ranked in Pots B and C based on the points they attained at the Preliminary Stage of the competition.
For some of the contests, NSMQ champions will compete against one another, while others will feature city rivals.
