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: 15 seats − 11 joined = 4 empty. 15 students were allotted; 4 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 4 open.
Round 2: 4 open + 1 freed = 5 available → 5 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: 10 Round 1 students stayed + 5 placed in Round 2 = 15; 1 student placed in Round 2 did not join, so 14 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 3 open.
Round 3: 3 open + 1 freed = 4 available − 2 filled = 2 seats left for the mop-up. “Freed” = 1 student holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: All India · OBC
Round 1: 10 seats − 9 joined = 1 empty. 11 students were allotted; 2 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 1 open.
Round 2: 1 open + 1 freed = 2 available → 2 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: 8 Round 1 students stayed + 2 placed in Round 2 = 10; 1 student placed in Round 2 did not join, so 9 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 1 open.
Round 3: 1 open + 0 freed = 1 available − 1 filled = 0 seats left for the mop-up.
The maths: All India · SC
Round 1: 5 seats − 5 joined = 0 empty. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 0 open.
