Hello Himanshu,

GATE can be though as of the JEE after your graduation. Both have the same goal and that is IIT.

GATE stands for Graduate Aptitude test in Engineering. This test is basically an entrance test for admission to institutes for Post graduation(M.Tech especially). Qualifying in Gate you can crack some of the elite institues such as IITs and NITs, and get admitted to post graduation there. Also GATE has some more value especially if you are applying for PSUs.
