Hello.

• Firstly, your higher study degree must reflect the kind of job you are seeking in the future. Is it something related to research and development, or in the teaching sector or in the corporate world- that is the most important thing that needs to be sorted out first.
• Next, your GPA and the internships also play an important role in deciding. Universities that accept GRE scores, pay a lot of weightage on the internships that you have done till date, the letters of recommendation and your published papers. On the other hand, the institutions that accept GATE scores such as IITs, NITs, BHU, etc pay equal weightage on your overall GPA and your interviews.
  So, in short, if you have GPA in the higher range of 8-10 then you can go for either of them and if it is in the lower range of 6-7, go for GRE.
• The other important thing that you need to keep in mind is competition. About 20-22k students appear for GATE BT every year, while it is over a lakh for GRE takers.
• The syllabus for both differ as well. You need basic English knowledge, verbal reasoning and speaking skills for GRE and only subjective knowledge for GATE.
• Please note that MTech from prestigious institutions in India such as IIT Bombay have as much value as a degree from abroad. So decide wisely.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask for other doubts.

Hello,

If we think on the basis of future prospects and importance then GRE is better than GATE

Here is the explanation

1.) GRE is comparatively easy exam which requires at least 4-5 months and it is globally accepted.

2.) GRE score is valid for 5 years and many abroad universities take into account GRE score.

3.) If you decide to take admission in abroad then do go for GRE.

4.) Being a biotechnology graduate the scope in abroad is good and hence give it a try

5.) It is less competitive and it requires around 25k -30 k for preparation.
