Last year at your rank, and this year

Last year, 43 students at AIR 15,691 to 17,325 were allotted Ophthalmology in Round 1. By the last round:

Kept their Round 1 seat6

Upgraded to another Ophthalmology seat: they held theirs and chose Float13

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round7

Moved to another specialty7

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (9 of them were in a state's counselling)10

Another 34 at these AIRs got Ophthalmology only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.

This year so far: 7 Ophthalmology seats ended between AIR 15,691 and 17,325 last year. This year most of them ended 692 to 1,725 ranks earlier: Little Flower Hospital and Research Centre, AIR 16,356 last year, AIR 14,631 this year.
