In SNAP the GK questions forms a part of the main question paper. It have equal weightage as other sections and hence is counted while calculation of the total score and percentile.

In XAT they are a part of the second part of the paper. The score obtained in GK is not added to the total score as a result the percentile are not affected by them. Although for selection in XLRI the score of GK questions is considered for further rounds of selection in case you are shortlisted for interview.
