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: ESI (IP) · Open (UR)
Round 1: 14 seats − 13 joined = 1 empty. 14 students were allotted; 1 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 1 open.
Round 2: 1 open + 0 freed = 1 available → 1 filled. Every available seat was filled.
After Round 2 joining: 14 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 1 open.
Round 3: 1 open + 2 freed = 3 available − 2 filled = 1 seat left for the mop-up. “Freed” = 2 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: All India · OBC
Round 1: 4 seats − 3 joined = 1 empty. 4 students were allotted; 1 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: 2 Round 1 students stayed + 2 placed in Round 2 = 4; 2 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 2 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 3 open.
Round 3: 3 open + 1 freed = 4 available − 3 filled = 1 seat left for the mop-up. “Freed” = 1 student holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
