Hello Kanhaiya

With this GATE score you can't get into any IIt's or even the top NIT's. Your rank must be around 10k-12k. 

So, if this is the case then you can try the lower grade NIT's in second or third round but question marks still prevails.

You can try other State Univ. like Osmania or Anna.
