Hello,

Since yoy have qualified GATE, you can pursue M.E/M.Tech/Phd in NITs , IIITs, IITs and CFTIs. The selection of the candidates in any of these institutes is done on the basis of their GATE scores. You should also be sure of what is the right institute for you, the course you wish to pursue with the specialization suitable for you.

After 2012, many PSUs have started recruiting candidates who have qualified GATE and they select them based off of their score. This will give a new directiona to the career path of the candidates. The starting package of candidates recruited in top institues is  7 lakh to 11 lakh per annum.

I hope this helps,

All the best.
