It is compulsory to attend GD/What/VA/PI process to get into any reputed MBA college as that is the way they choose the best candidates for the course. It has got nothing to do with getting a scholarship. Also, although all of the top MBA institutions conduct GD/PIs for admission process, you may also find a few colleges who conduct Skype or telephonic interviews for the same.

For PI rounds of MBA, you have to study about economy of India and world, general knowledge and about Indian Politics and International relations between India and other countries. These topics are enough to crack PI round.
