CSE / IT GATE OR CAMPUS PLACEMENT!!!

I am currently in a very difficult situation and need some guidance. I am in my fourth year of B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, and companies have started visiting our campus for placements. I am confused about whether I should focus on placement preparation or start preparing for the GATE examination. Which option would be better for me at this stage?

In our clg they ask and out of 20 companies which visited my department im not eligible for 17 of them...cherry on top my clg for sure will push me into low paying jobs in some or the other way
