Most of the colleges have eliminated the GD process and replaced it with WAT(Written Ability Test) which is more of a test of your thought formation and english writing skill and not just about having the highest voice in a fish-market. But PI still remains the most integral part of the process. Hence if you feel that you are not confident enough in English, I would suggest you work hard towards it and if required join a coaching center for the same and overcome your hurdle.
