Dear aspirant,

Both of the exams are equally rewarding and most of the BTech students give either of them or both of them. To know what you must give or whether you give both or not you must figure out that whether you want to continue your engineering at the graduation and progression level or if you want to change stream and go into the side of business or management. if you are more interested in engineering and want to explore it more then you must go for GATE exam as it is for the admission into to top notch engineering colleges and also for the jobs in Navratan and maharatna companies like IOCL DRDO etc.

Cat on the other hand is for the admission in various management colleges and the top of them are IIMs. These are also important and rewarding as IITs. from them you can pursue a career in management and business.

hello student. after btech, it depends on your interest that you take cat or gate exam. but you will be eligible for both the exams.

Cat would lead you to business and administration

Gate would lead you to higher studies in the stream where you pursued your btech.
