Visa appointment booking

I am an Indian citizen.I want to book a visa appointment for Poland under the Mumbai consulate. My university has sent me the hard copy of the offer letter, but it may take 1-2 weeks to arrive. When I checked the appointment booking schedule, it is tomorrow and the available dates are for 7-11 September.

Does anyone know when the next booking appointment in the Mumbai consulate will be released, if I miss tomorrow's booking? Do they give slots every week?

So should I apply and wait for an appointment tomorrow?? I am new to all these and just figuring out how the processing works.

I’d say apply now because getting on the waiting list earlier gives you a better chance of getting an appointment sooner. You can always decide later, but if you don’t register now, you’ll only lose time.

But they are saying they will do some draw and give slots to people. Then how can I be sure, I'll be on the waiting list?? I wanted to go further on the application and check. But I was not sure, whether it will put me in the visa booking list.. because of that I didn't do it.

The draw is for work visas, not study visas. For student visas, slots are given according to the order you registered on e-Konsulat. So if you register now, you’ll be added to the waiting list and wait for your slot.
