The prominent jury panels, 12 members for the feature film part and 6 members for the non-feature film segment contribute equally to the consensus that leads to the selection of Indian Panorama films in respective categories.

This year, as in previous years, a maximum of 26 feature films and 21 non-feature films will be chosen. The Best Feature Film and Best Non-Feature Film of the 2023 National Film Awards will be chosen. Films characterised by cinematic, thematic, and artistic brilliance are chosen in accordance with Indian Panorama's conditions and processes.
