Likely an interview is required, but that was Pre-Covid19 situation. They may drop this and just issue an AIP when its reviewed again. They may conduct a phone interview instead of embassy because of Covid19.
With whom did you apply for your GCMS notes? How much time did it take?
Contact @demme343 . He is my dear friend and has same interview recommended like you in gcms notes.Applied for notes on 24th July, got on 13th Aug. 22 days.
I'm from India. I did some digging around it seems that "Recommend Interview" does not mean an interview is mandatory. It seems that it will change to "Interview Required" in case an interview is really required.Contact @demme343 . He is my dear friend and has same interview recommended like you in gcms notes.

Visa applications are reviewed by at least two levels of people:From where u got this information that recommend interview is not necessary and it can be waived off.
Thanks for this valuable information. My friend also has recommend interview. Thank God it has not a required interview.Visa applications are reviewed by at least two levels of people:
1. Visa/case processing analyst
They review all information and can only make recommendations as to what happens - ie, recommended interview, recommended refusal. They may be able to refuse some clearly ineligible applications.
2. Visa officer
They review what the analyst's notes are and make final decisions, including whether or not an interview is required. As @getsthingsdone says, GCMS notes would change to "interview required" if the visa officer determined that one was mandatory. A visa officer may disregard a recommended interview.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Chances are it will still become required.Thanks for this valuable information. My friend also has recommend interview. Thank God it has not a required interview.
Are you also from India?Hi friend, I have exactly the same as you. But I start class as the college is asking to. I just ordered gcms, but nothing changed much after that.
What is your employment history and is your course in same area as previous studies?
