Hi there Vaishnavi !

Hope you are having a nice day !

I would like to inform you that MAT exams patterns carries 20% weightage of general knowledge. And Number of questions asked is 40. For scoring good marks you have to attempt general knowledge questions as well. And I will suggest you to start studying general knowledge questions because it is easy to score in these sections if you have good memory capability. So keep studying keep growing.

All the best for your future !

Thanks.
