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: 200 seats − 134 joined = 66 empty. 200 students were allotted; 66 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 66 open.
Round 2: 66 open + 21 freed = 87 available → 51 filled. “Freed” = 21 students who had joined here in Round 1 got a better college in Round 2; their seats were given out in the same round. 36 seats stayed unfilled.
After Round 2 joining: 113 Round 1 students stayed + 51 placed in Round 2 = 164; 16 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 148 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 55 open.
Round 3: 55 open + 13 freed = 68 available − 15 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 13 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 55 open in Round 3 + 13 freed = 68 available − 15 filled = 53 seats left for the mop-up.
