Hello ! I m qualified GATE this year in XE with score of 389 general category. There are very less chances of getting good IIT and branch for mtech so what is best option should I take admission in any clg or should I prepare for another attempt????

Ans: Hi
With this score, getting into top IITs (like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, or IIT Madras) for core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or interdisciplinary programs is difficult, but not impossible for newer IITs or interdisciplinary branches.
You may have chances in NITs, IIITs, and newer IITs, especially in non-core or interdisciplinary programs (Materials, Energy, Environment, Applied Mechanics, etc.).

Participate in COAP and CCMT rounds—see what you get.
If you are not happy with what you are getting, reappear at GATE and try to improve it.
