Shortlisted were 31 finalists, 28 of whom were state representatives, one each from Delhi and Jammu & Kashmir, and a collective representative from the remaining union territories. Later Shivani Rajashekar from Tamilnadu withdrew leaving the number to 30. The contest's progress was scheduled to be completed in four stages, with the grand finale taking place in July 2022.

### The Phases

The selection and first phase (February & March) was to shortlist the applicants in which they were judged on four key parameters: appearance, personality, talent, interview, and walk down the ramp. A panel judged each candidate, and the entries were narrowed down to groups of finalists for each state.
A series of interviews were conducted in the second phase of the contest (April) to select 31 state winners who would form the final pool of contestants for Femina Miss India 2022.
The third phase of the contest, involved training of the 31 state finalists in a holistic curriculum consisting of classes and interactive sessions facilitated by industry experts on topics ranging from skincare to self-expression, from style from the changing room to the ramp. State winners also received training in content creation and social media management, in addition to presentation and grooming. This training would allow the finalists to document their experiences during both preparation and competition.
The pageant's final phase (2022), the Grand Finale, was produced and broadcast as a prerecorded television show featuring artist performances, sponsor integrations, and contestant rounds, culminating in the announcement of the Top 5 followed by the Top 3 winners.
