The biggest moves were Electronics and Communication Engg (5-yr dual/integrated) (from 7,074 to 8,540), B. Tech. Information Technology-Business Informatics (IT- BIn) - Master of Business Administration (MBA) (5-yr) (from 7,585 to 8,842) and Electronics and Communication Engg (from 6,788 to 7,804). If your rank is just outside a program that moved a lot, choosing Float or Slide and waiting for later rounds can pay off. If it barely moved, a later round is unlikely to change your result.
