do we really need GK in CAT and IIFT ??! 
If you have the belief to choose your road
If you have the courage to stay on it
If you have the conviction to surmount the rough stretches
If you do..you will find the road begins to follow you

Besides IIFT, SNAP and TISS also have it......SNAP has lot of questions on AD Punch lines and CEO etc. IIFT has some facts,figures and finance related questions..Like which country accounted for MAX FDI flow for INDIA?
GK for SNAP and IIFT can be easily covered if Newspapers are read on a consistent basis (got 15 in Gk in SNAP ). Current affairs form a major part of any GK section. Besides this habit will also help in article writing in XAT and during GD/interviews.
