i agree with you because that's what everyone else told me but suprisingly mine was not. i was called for an interview and this is how the interview went - they told me in 6th in the BDS list and asked me if i wanted the seat aka if i was willing to pay the fees in 6 days time. i informed them that IBCC rechecked and my conversion increased to 908 they are like okk let us sort this out, they re-calculated my marks using the 70/30 and i made it to mbbs.
so yeah the interview is pretty much useless and yeah they asked my friend for a 1m donation and i also know someone with 650 conversion got in --- so i guess it works both ways at lmdc
