ISB website as well as lot of admission consulting websites say that folks will receive the interview invites within 5-7 days of the interview date in the preferred location. In that case, if the Mumbai interview dates are 4,5-Jan, ideally most of the interview invites should go out around 28,29-Dec. From what I see in this forum, its the opposite. Either we're not seeing the full picture from all the applicants or the process told by ISB and admission consulting websites is not the same this year.
Not sure what's the gap!
NitsOwl I agree. I think the admission process has undergone a change this year. I have had people corroborate Siddharth's point of ISB having completed 80% of invites to Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi quite early. I have also heard that there is a something called a high priority application. This pertained to individuals with GMAT> 730. Apparently they were given first priority. R1 results for such individuals was also announced earlier.
With R3 being introduced this time ( I think it's the first time), I believe there's a lot of confusion.
I'm waiting for an invite to Hyderabad myself.
Let's hope for the best
