mine is also forwarded to bangalore
submitted on may 8th.
don't worry as bangalore is bit slow as compared to delhi.
the estimated normal processing time for any study permit as of now is 42 days (6weeks).
hope you get it soon. all the best.

Thanks Jimmy...but as I stated my case is different as I also need to manage by job commitments ie 3 months compulsory notice period...so this delay is making things very complicated

you can try & explain your current employer about your situation. request them to accept your conditional intimation letter explaining you will only leave job if u get visa otherwise not. may be they might consider your situation & accept it.
As you can not contact embassy bcz they clearly mention that they will not respond under normal processing time & yours is under it.
Hope this helps.
