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: 212 seats − 131 joined = 81 empty. 212 students were allotted; 81 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 81 open.
Round 2: 81 open + 34 freed = 115 available → 113 filled. “Freed” = 34 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. 2 seats stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 97 Round 1 students stayed + 113 placed in Round 2 = 210; 23 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 187 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 26 open.
Round 3: 26 open + 34 freed = 60 available − 30 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 34 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
The maths: NRI · Open (UR)
Round 1: 38 seats − 0 joined = 38 empty. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 38 open.
Round 2: 38 open + 0 freed = 38 available → 0 filled. 38 seats stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 0 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 38 open.
Round 3: 38 open + 0 freed = 38 available − 0 filled → counted in the management pool (below).
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 64 open in Round 3 + 34 freed = 98 available − 30 filled = 68 seats left for the mop-up.
NRI seats (from MCC data): 38 · taken by NRI candidates: 0 · 38 NRI seats are vacant after Round 3 — may be offered as management seats in the mop-up.
