💡 What Can 2026–27 Applicants Learn From This Data?
Previous-session vacancy data can help candidates understand the general demand for different subjects. However, applicants should not assume that the same number of vacancies will be available during the 2026–27 Academic Session.
In my view, candidates should apply if they meet the required eligibility conditions, even if their subject had fewer vacancies in the previous session. The number of positions can change from one academic session to another depending on workload, student enrolment and other requirements.
