Last year at your rank, and this year

Last year, 50 students at AIR 19,283 to 20,698 were allotted Ophthalmology in Round 1. By the last round:

Kept their Round 1 seat9

Upgraded to another Ophthalmology seat: they held theirs and chose Float5

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round10

Moved to another specialty9

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (13 of them were in a state's counselling)17

Another 29 at these AIRs got Ophthalmology only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.

This year so far: 13 Ophthalmology seats ended between AIR 19,283 and 20,698 last year. This year most of them ended within 1,279 ranks earlier and 2,210 ranks further: about where they did: Government Medical College, Srinagar, AIR 19,977 last year, AIR 21,958 this year.

Ophthalmology seats MCC allotted in Round 1 (General and EWS, in the All India, DNB and deemed quotas): 867 last year, 900 this year. All seats MCC allotted in Round 1: 26,889 last year, 28,723 this year. All India quota Round 1 seat matrix: 12,678 last year, 13,522 this year.
