I myself am a part of the 6th batch which got deferred in the month of November..
Just had a word personally with someone from human resources yesterday regarding my medicals which does not have the minimum 6 month validity which jet requires. Last month when I had inquired they told me to wait but yesterday I was told to go ahead with your renewals and keep all licenses ready the moment we get training slots we will start calling candidates..
Now honestly speaking I do not wanna get into the debate of who gets called first. But all I can say is that they are more positive..
Training of the 6th batch should start soon by the looks of it..
