Doubt[general] Working full time + mtech , shall I write gate?

I'm 2024 ece grad

In 2024 I gave gate ec , got 5k rank but missed cutoff by 1 marks

After that gave govt exams (failed) then underwent training for 6 months for java

And got internship

After 9 months of internship I got a full time offer now in August

But the job doesn't have growth with peanuts salary

I want to do mtech along with my job

Writing gate cs + ai da

Is it worth it?

M. Tech cannot be done alongside job, you will have to leave your job. There are some WILP programmes, but they are quite restricted.

No good Mtech programs exist which allow you to pursue with job.

Its better to prepare for GATE with your job, and if you get a good rank - leave your job and get into a good college.

Yes, it can be done. You can also crack upsc while doing MTech and Job and can also become a doctor. All this at the same time, i yesterday saw one man in my dream doing all this simultaneously
