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 − 119 joined = 81 empty. 200 students were allotted; 81 did not join or gave the seat up. MCC’s Round 2 list showed 81 open.
Round 2: 81 open + 38 freed = 119 available → 119 filled. “Freed” = 38 students 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: 81 Round 1 students stayed + 119 placed in Round 2 = 200; 24 students placed in Round 2 did not join, so 176 students hold seats. MCC’s Round 3 list showed 77 open.
Round 3: 77 open + 51 freed = 128 available − 33 filled → counted in the management pool (below). “Freed” = 51 students holding a seat here upgraded elsewhere in Round 3.
Management pool (management + NRI + minority seats, which MCC fills together at deemed universities): 77 open in Round 3 + 51 freed = 128 available − 33 filled = 95 seats left for the mop-up.
