is it reasonable to expect that if one does not get an interview call by the next weekend then they are rejected since the weekend after is R3 deadline?

Don’t think so.. hardly any interviews happened so far

Rejection emails would be sent at once after the end of interviews for the round

Going by the last year trends, can we assume that ISB wraps up R2 interviews by the end of R3 deadline ? maybe by Jan 26th ?

What’s the nature of your role with UP govt? Are you applying to R3 this cycle or preparing for the next cycle. Govt roles are usually valued as they add to the cohort diversity. Academics is on the weaker side so will have to be balanced with the right narrative and GMAT score. In R3, a lot also depends on the profile of applicants that have already received admits so far. Very tricky to recommend a GMAT score with the information shared but you should broadly target 665+ to achieve a balanced profile.

Applications are processed in batches and shortlists accordingly communicated on a rolling basis. Usual factors such preferred location, mode of interview, panel availability also play a role .
