Delhi and Madan Maharaj fell out of contention in the penultimate matchday of the final round, while Rajasthan only needed a point to earn their promotion in their final round-robin group game against Kenkre.
Out of the 18 teams nominated by their respective state associations, nine were selected to partake in the qualifiers from the preliminary rounds, among whom Bangalore United, Kerala United, ARA FC, Rynith FC and Corbett FC failed to make it to the final round.
