When I interviewed, the girl told me that they were interviewing over 400 applicants for round 2. Whether she knew what she was talking about is hard to say. I did hear people saying that the quality of invited applicants is significant higher than self initiated, which indicates chances are pretty good if you got invited to interview.

Well, of course the quality would be higher... Even if they interview 75% of all applicants, the worst would be weeded out.
But yeah, I'd say inviting 50% to interview and then accepting 50% of that makes the most sense
I know it's obvious that the quality is higher, my point is that the students were saying that chances are high for those invited to interview. In our meet and greet there was a discussion about it and the students said about 50% of total applicants are interviewed. So considering a large portion of rd 1 applicants self initiate, I'd assume a lower percentage are invited to interview rd 2.
Was anyone else in there for this discussion or have a similar one?
I do think it would make more sense to be more selective about who is invited to interview, as others have said, to ease the workload.
