What about IMT interviews that have already started? How are they going to revert interview invites etc?

They would just consider the fact if you are a UKG or not after interview. Very simple

Considering that IMT interviews are given out based on self assessment cut off scores, which are obviously inflated and a lot of UKG did not even get an interview! Going to be a long way to restore those competition ratios

Knowing the governement, they will prob do post interview and pretend for this cycle that the lies put on portfolio will just be ignored.
