Hello Vikas

Yeah definitely Vikas you are eligible for writing the GATE entrance exam with having the qualifying degree MCA.

Dear Vikas

Yeah definitely Vikas via writing the GATE entrance exam you can be able to get into the IIT / NIT premises for doing the M.Tech and if your rank / score is more better than you should also have the chances to get the call from PSU depends upon the cuttof your respective branch.
But unfortunately Vikas in your case you have done the BCA and MCA degree and GATE is only for the engineering graduates so unfortunately you will not be able to write the GATE entrance exam.

All the best

Dear Vikas

Yeah you are right that BCA students are eligible and sorry for my mistake but vikas since you have already completed your PG degree that is MCA so it's not use of applying for the PG Degree i.e M.Tech via GATE entrance exam.

Thanks
