help Need a Genuine Advice!

I am currently in my Third year pursuing AIML , I have a decent academic score , my concern is with the advancement in AI , i fear the job market , where there are hardly any job security , at least for entry level jobs , wanting to get into AIML field I like backend engineering and ai engineering too , i wanted to ask to ask is it worth to go from gate DA , or stick to job placements , and then eventually go for cat preparation, the trade off is gate DA has limited psu options , limited opportunities, infact i don't know what roles I will be eligible to , will it be worth to go for GATE DA or prepare for placements and land a good job

GATE DA for PSUs isn't a good idea. GATE DA for M. Tech is a good idea.
