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: All India · Open (UR)
Round 1: 6 seats − 1 joined = 5 empty. 6 students were allotted; 5 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 5 open.
Round 2: 5 open + 1 freed = 6 available → 6 filled. “Freed” = 1 student 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: 0 Round 1 students stayed + 6 placed in Round 2 = 6; 2 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 4 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 2 open.
Round 3: 2 open + 3 freed = 5 available − 5 filled = 0 seats left for the mop-up. “Freed” = 3 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
