It’s basically saying that interview invites will be out on a rolling basis, so if some admits reject their seat, new set of interviews will be scheduled and this cycle will go on until 25th February

I think it says that "Don't think you are Rejected Unless and Until We tell you that YOU ARE REJECTED".

I got a mail mentioning offers being communicated on a rolling basis. And to wait till 25Feb for a final decision. So not really sure what to make of it. Just being hopeful for a positive outcome.
