Last year at your rank, and this year

Last year, 29 students at AIR 21,727 to 23,182 were allotted Ophthalmology in Round 1. By the last round:

Upgraded to another Ophthalmology seat: they held theirs and chose Float4

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round13

Moved to another specialty4

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (4 of them were in a state's counselling)6

Another 41 at these AIRs got Ophthalmology only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.

This year so far: 10 Ophthalmology seats ended between AIR 21,727 and 23,182 last year. This year most of them ended within 170 ranks earlier and 1,772 ranks further: about where they did: Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya, AIR 22,197 last year, AIR 22,330 this year.
