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: 160 seats − 142 joined = 18 empty. 160 students were allotted; 18 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 18 open.
Round 2: 18 open + 14 freed = 32 available → 32 filled. “Freed” = 14 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: 128 Round 1 students stayed + 32 placed in Round 2 = 160; 1 student placed in Round 2 did not join, so 159 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 2 open.
Round 3: 2 open + 2 freed = 4 available − 3 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 2 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: NRI · Open (UR)
Round 1: 38 seats − 31 joined = 7 empty. 38 students were allotted; 7 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 7 open.
Round 2: 7 open + 1 freed = 8 available → 8 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: 30 Round 1 students stayed + 8 placed in Round 2 = 38; 3 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 35 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 3 open.
Round 3: 3 open + 2 freed = 5 available − 5 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 2 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 5 open in Round 3 + 4 freed = 9 available − 8 filled = 1 seat left for the mop-up.
NRI seats (from MCC data): 38 · taken by NRI candidates: 38.
