About the numbers. Figures come from the official Medical Counselling Committee documents (mcc.nic.in): Round 1, All India Quota, Open seats, MD and MS, matched colleges. They are past closing ranks and do not predict any future rank. State counselling follows its own rules; check mcc.nic.in for the latest notices.
