Hi srjaidev,
Did you receive an option between alumni or skype interview? I'm an Indian applicant too and I was told that an alum would contact me in the next 10 days.
My opinion is that the alum interview is much better than the skype one since you can connect on a personal level. The skype interview is much more mill-of-the-run thing if you know what I mean (P.S. - only heard from other sources, haven't actually given one). So I would prefer an alum interview for sure.

I did not get a choice. I would choose the in-person alumnus interview too had I had the choice because there won't be any problems like poor network or power fluctuations, but then if I am able to create a good impression, then I have the advantage of the adcom being right there during the discussion of my candidacy.
I suppose it's skype interview for Bangalore folks while it is alumnus interview for Mumbai folks.
All the best, V! Hope we get to see each other at Charlottesville this summer
