Last year at your rank, and this year

Last year, 47 students at AIR 9,304 to 10,736 were allotted Ophthalmology in Round 1. By the last round:

Kept their Round 1 seat10

Upgraded to another Ophthalmology seat: they held theirs and chose Float7

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round2

Moved to another specialty14

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

Another 14 at these AIRs got Ophthalmology only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.

This year so far: 23 Ophthalmology seats ended between AIR 9,304 and 10,736 last year. This year most of them ended within 137 ranks earlier and 3,901 ranks further: about where they did: Gajra Raja Medical College, AIR 9,913 last year, AIR 11,822 this year.

Ophthalmology seats MCC allotted in Round 1 (General and OBC, in the All India, DNB and deemed quotas): 972 last year, 1,022 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.
