Self-Financed Merit | 6,321 | 6,321 | No change |
NRI | 998 | 998 | No change |
Minority quotas | 111 | 111 | No change |
All India rows in Deemed matrix | 107 | 0 | −107 |

How Doctors Should Respond
Reopen the live choice list: removed rows may no longer be selectable even if an older saved list or screenshot shows them.
Replace lost options: add realistic alternatives in the same branch, fee range and location band; do not leave gaps where withdrawn choices were placed.
Re-check quota: Srinivasan’s 11 NRI seats remain, but those are not substitutes for withdrawn All India seats and require NRI eligibility and documents.
Lock only after reviewing: the Round 1 choice-filling deadline is 22 October 2026 at 10:00 AM IST under the published MCC schedule.
There is no fee, stipend, bond, recognition or cutoff change established by this matrix revision. Admission chances remain dependent on AIR, category, quota, branch order, budget, seat availability and round movement; no seat can be guaranteed.

HGE guidance: Use the revised matrix as the source of truth. Compare branch fit, total cost, stipend, bond, clinical exposure, workload and location before finalising choices—do not rank a college by name alone.
