Most IIMs have replaced traditional Group Discussion (GD) rounds with the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI). However, some non-IIM institutes that accept CAT scores may still conduct GD as part of their selection process. Candidates should check the specific admission criteria of each institute to understand whether GD is included.
