Freed = seats released during that round because the student holding them upgraded to another college; MCC gives these out in the same round, which is why a round can fill more seats than its official vacancy list.
How we worked it out — step by step
The maths: Management (Self-Financed) · Open (UR)
Round 1: 100 seats − 54 joined = 46 empty. 100 students were allotted; 46 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 45 open (MCC moved 1 seat to another category).
Round 2: 45 open + 32 freed = 77 available → 77 filled. “Freed” = 32 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. Every available seat was filled.
After Round 2 joining: 22 Round 1 students stayed + 77 placed in Round 2 = 99; 13 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 86 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 16 open.
Round 3: 16 open + 46 freed = 62 available − 60 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 46 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 16 open in Round 3 + 46 freed = 62 available − 60 filled = 2 seats left for the mop-up.
