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: 245 seats − 182 joined = 63 empty. 245 students were allotted; 63 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 63 open.
Round 2: 63 open + 36 freed = 99 available → 74 filled. “Freed” = 36 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. 25 seats stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 146 Round 1 students stayed + 74 placed in Round 2 = 220; 22 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 198 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 50 open.
Round 3: 50 open + 27 freed = 77 available − 14 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 27 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: NRI · Open (UR)
Round 1: 5 seats − 0 joined = 5 empty. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 5 open.
Round 2: 5 open + 0 freed = 5 available → 0 filled. 5 seats stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 0 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 5 open.
Round 3: 5 open + 0 freed = 5 available − 0 filled → counted in the management pool (below).
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 55 open in Round 3 + 27 freed = 82 available − 14 filled = 68 seats left for the mop-up.
NRI seats (from MCC data): 5 · taken by NRI candidates: 0 · 5 NRI seats are vacant after Round 3 — may be offered as management seats in the mop-up.
