Last year at your rank, and this year

Last year, 31 students at AIR 8,499 to 10,141 were allotted Ophthalmology in Round 1. By the last round:

Kept their Round 1 seat5

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

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round1

Moved to another specialty11

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

Another 17 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 8,499 and 10,141 last year. This year most of them went 745 to 2,213 ranks further: Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal, AIR 9,290 last year, AIR 11,503 this year.
