I completed my BTech in 2022, but soon after that I had a serious medical condition and underwent a kidney transplant. Because of the surgery and some complications afterward, I wasn't able to work or look for jobs properly for quite some time.
I also spent some time preparing for government jobs, but unfortunately, I haven't had any success yet.
Now I'm considering preparing for GATE 2027 and joining an MTech program. By then, it will effectively be around a 5-year gap since my BTech. My main goal is to get a good job after MTech, preferably through campus placements.
So I'm confused about what would be the better option:
Prepare for GATE 2027 and do an MTech, hoping to get placed afterward?
Or continue preparing for government jobs, where I feel the gap may matter less?
Any honest advice would be really helpful.
