I'm a 21D admit, right now there are 310+ students in 21J and 510+ students in 21D. Around 200 21J students deferred to 21D, and I guess some of 21D students will defer as well. The school is allowing much more defer cases than previous years due to the COVID-19.
Not sure whether it would help, but personally I felt contacting your AO and indicating that you want to change to 21J may increase the chance of admit, if that's something acceptable for you. 21J is only starting in Oct 2020, not in Sept.
Thanks for the intel - that's very helpful to know.
Do you know by any chance if they are teaching in classroom or virtual for the 21J class? 510+ students is quite a lot already (I thought the usual is around 500~ each intake), do you know if there is a cap? Thanks again for sharing
They are trying their best to start 21J in classroom, but they also mentioned that there are uncertainties of new wave of virus and tighter government regulations. So in conclusion nothing is confirmed yet. Even for my batch it's possible that a hybrid mode of classroom+online will be adopted. They stressed that they will minimize online teaching as long as the government regulation allows.
Yes 510+ is quite a lot, usually it's 500 plus minus 10. I don't think they mentioned any cap for 21D, because things are uncertain, not sure how many students are deferring. But personally I guess the final number won't deviate too much from 500, as the school's facilities are limited (faculty, classroom, etc.)
