Dear Husen Cyclewala,
Normally, admissions in the business schools are done on the basis of different criteria. Some colleges provide admissions through CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, etc., though they give admission, the sessions for CAT and admissions through other exams will be different.

Yes, there are CMAT accepting colleges which do not conduct GD/PI. The seat allotment is based on counselling process based on CMAT cut off and candidate's choice of college.
