Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round9

Moved to another specialty7

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (13 of them were in a state's counselling)14

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

This year so far: 12 Ophthalmology seats ended between AIR 16,461 and 18,035 last year. This year most of them ended within 1,160 ranks earlier and 1,659 ranks further: about where they did: Ahalia Foundation Eye Hospital, AIR 17,230 last year, AIR 16,070 this year.
