The state defector signal
30 of 54 MCC AIQ govt allottees (56%) chose not to take the seat.
At this rank band, the same student often holds a state quota govt seat in their home state — cheaper, closer, often a better college. MCC AIQ becomes the second choice. Their forfeited seats become R2/R3 fresh allotments for the band below.
The deemed defector signal
253 of 632 students offered a deemed college seat (40%) walked away.
At deemed colleges, ghosting means forfeiting a security deposit (₹2L typically). These students still hoped for a govt seat through state counselling. Most never came back to MCC.
