In the MAT exam, General Knowledge (GK) is a part of the test, but it does not directly contribute to your final score in the same way as the other sections (Language Comprehension, Mathematical Skills, Data Analysis, and Intelligence). However, a good score in GK can help you during the interview process, as some institutes consider it for shortlisting candidates. It is still important to prepare for this section, as it can give you an edge in some cases.
