Dear AshutoshTo be honest at the score of 418, although you are GATE qualified, getting into any of the decent NITs will not be possible.However, if you are strongly looking forward to get admissions this year, you might stand some chance to get admission into the very newly established NITs like Tadepalligudem (NIT A.P.), NITs in North East (Mizoram, Manipur, Sikkim). Also, there are very small chances of getting into some of the new IIITs like IIIT Guwahati, Lucknow, Bhagalpur, Bhopal, Manipur, Ranchi, Pune etc.Many of the students they don't even apply to these colleges thinking that cutoffs might be very high, but it's not always the case.One of my friend got admission into IIIT Guwahati last year through some other mode (not using GATE score) as he didn't qualified GATE but is currently pursuing M.Tech there.Please visit the sites of all the new IIITs to have a more clear cut idea about these.Hope this helpsLet me know if anything else is required.
