Meaning of Tie-breaking rule:

[JSSJMD22]

Dear Experts,

what does this statement mean in real ? "Tie-breaking rule: January 28, 2018 at 21:06:11 UTC". Does it mean only applications submitted till 28 January 2018 considered for this draw?

Thanks
RR

Let's say cut off was 445 points

I have 445 points I submitted my profile on 29 Jan 2018

You have 445 points, you submitted your profile on 28 Jan 2018

You'll get an invitation, I won't.

Anyone with points more than 445 would have been invited

so if some one submitted application in Feb or March and have score more then 445 even then they wont get ITA ? strange.

The tie-break rule has the meaning in its name. Any score above the cut-off will not come in to tie-break, as they are already above the score. Tie-break applies only for the minimum cut-off score, when there are more profiles then they can invite. For eg, if there 250 profiles in 442 and they have only 160 ITA's left, then they will select the profiles that are on top 160 based on the time of submission.
