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: Delhi University · SC
Round 1: 26 seats − 26 joined = 0 empty. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 0 open.
Round 2: 0 open + 0 freed = 0 available → 0 filled. Every available seat was filled.
After Round 2 joining: 26 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 1 open.
Round 3: 1 open + 0 freed = 1 available − 0 filled = 1 seat left for the mop-up.
The maths: Delhi University · Open (UR)
Round 1: 70 seats − 71 joined = 0 empty. (1 more joined than this category’s seats — MCC moved a seat here from another category.) MCC’s Round 2 list showed 0 open.
Round 2: 0 open + 1 freed = 1 available → 1 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: 70 Round 1 students stayed + 1 placed in Round 2 = 71; 2 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 69 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 2 open.
