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: 250 seats − 58 joined = 192 empty. 120 students were allotted; 62 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 192 open.
Round 2: 192 open + 32 freed = 224 available → 16 filled. “Freed” = 32 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. 208 seats stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 26 Round 1 students stayed + 16 placed in Round 2 = 42; 7 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 35 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 218 open.
Round 3: 218 open + 8 freed = 226 available − 22 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 8 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 218 open in Round 3 + 8 freed = 226 available − 22 filled = 204 seats left for the mop-up.
