Will the format of the other regional rounds be similar to the one in Bangalore? As in, 6x6s to determine the first round eliminations and then 9x9s with variants in the next rounds?

The World Championships take place in October-November, so the nationals have to be held before August. Almost all institutes in India follow a June-April or July-May academic calendar, so January-April is a busy month for most students preparing for their final examinations. So, May-June-July is the best time for these championships and it is unfortunate that it clashes with your exams.
