Oh yes. When the results were out, it said I was waitlisted and further movements in waitlist would happen in Dec 2021.

But can re-apply in R2 and R3 as well (this is where IIM-A is different from the rest)

Re-applied via R2 portal on Oct 4. Paid INR 7500. Highlighted changes in my profile so that they’d be prominent. Portal clearly asks whether you’ve applied in R1 as well.

I spoke to IIM-A adcom. They said even if I were to be rejected in R2, my R1 waitlist status would stay the same.

So nothing to lose :P

I think you are trying to login in a different round portal. I got the same message when I tried logging in through R1 portal

It seems the essays are same, but one more essay has been added for re-applicants where they need to highlight what changed in their profile since last round.
Also the word limit was 500 words for each essay in R1, but now the word limit has been reduced to 250 words for each essay in R2.
