LEK Offered Me Interview After Rejection

Is it normal that LEK offered me an interview after rejection?

LEK recruits on my campus. I applied to the campus recruiting portal and LEK's own website. My campus portal application was rejected but I received an interview invite for the application I submitted through LEK's website. What does this mean? Am I under the campus hiring pipeline at all?

It has several post-interview-invite recruiting activities, such as additional coffee chat and a few email interactions. I have none of those, probably because my campus application was rejected.

One thing to add: 1 day before the decision date, LEK recruiter requested me to finish my application on their website. I already did twice so I did for the 3rd time. I thought that was a signal for an interview but I got rejection the next day. However, an interview invite came 4 days after the rejection. Weird.

Anyone has the same experience?
