The inter-college tournament served as the route to state-level selection for the three players. Pragati College hosted the competition, giving its students an opportunity to compete against players from other colleges before the state-level event. For Mukta, Sahu and Joshi, the selection takes them from the tournament at their own college to a wider competitive field in Surajpur.

The Surajpur tournament is the next stage for all three players. It gives them a chance to test their game against players who have also advanced to state level. For the college, the three selections are a sporting achievement across three undergraduate programmes, with two first-year students and a third-year student earning places at the same event.
