McKinsey employees - no casing?

Hi all, recently had a coffee chat for FT recruiting with a McK BA. Previously, BAs were not allowed to advise on the PEI process but were typically fine to issue practice cases. BA is from a small office and said new firm policy is that McK consultants "cannot give practice cases." Didn't press him on it at all obviously respected it and thanked him for the chat, so wanted to forward the question and ask if anyone 1) either going through the FT recruiting process has experienced something similar or 2) anyone at the firm can attest to this? Thanks!
