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 · EWS · PwD
Round 1: 1 seat − 0 joined = 1 empty. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 1 open.
Round 2: 1 open + 0 freed = 1 available → 0 filled. 1 seat stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 0 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: All India · Open (UR)
Round 1: 15 seats − 4 joined = 11 empty. 16 students were allotted; 12 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 11 open.
Round 2: 11 open + 1 freed = 12 available → 12 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: 15 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 0 open.
Round 3: 0 open + 3 freed = 3 available − 3 filled = 0 seats left for the mop-up. “Freed” = 3 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: All India · OBC
Round 1: 10 seats − 0 joined = 10 empty. 10 students were allotted; 10 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 10 open.
Round 2: 10 open + 0 freed = 10 available → 10 filled. Every available seat was filled.
After Round 2 joining: 0 Round 1 students stayed + 10 placed in Round 2 = 10; 2 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 8 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 2 open.
Round 3: 2 open + 5 freed = 7 available − 7 filled = 0 seats left for the mop-up. “Freed” = 5 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
