Three players - Soram Rahul Singh, Bhogen R K Singh and the top seed Y Dhanabir Singh scored 8/10 each. They were placed second to fourth respectively according to tie-breaks. Sanjoy defeated Soram and drew with Bhogen. The total prize fund of the tournament was ₹280000. The top three prizes were ₹35000, ₹25000 and ₹18000 along with a trophy each. This is Sanjoy's first-ever tournament triumph. He has played only seven rating tournaments in his career before this victory. He finished second at the last event he played in 2021 at Nagaon.

Only three players remained undefeated among the top ten finishers. The champion, Khumukcham Sanjoy Singh, second runner-up Bhogen R K Singh and fifth place finisher Brijit Chetia. Bhogen's performance is really impressive considering, he is the only veteran at the age of 53 years, to make a top ten finish. 11-year-old Abhirup Saikia is the youngest among the top ten finishers. He scored 7.5/10 to secure tenth place.
