If you are getting a good IIT, no need to read this. Otherwise, please analyze your situation.

1. Can I do better?
2. Did something went wrong for me during GATE?

If your answer is yes, do consider giving a second chance. Start from analyzing your GATE exam. mark down the topics you couldn't answer. Fix those topics properly.

Is there any other exams to try?

1. Yes, go for IIITH which is equally good
2. BITS is not far behind so are IIITB, IIITD etc.
3. For those who want specialized areas, TIFR, CMI (both Theoretical Computer Science), ISI (Statistics) are also good.
4. If you are academically strong do consider MS or even direct Ph.D. abroad. A 9 pointer might fail in GATE, but he/she might get preference while applying abroad. While applying to foreign places do consider making a Latex Resume and CV. Though small this might create a good impression.
5. Some other national level colleges are also there like IIST for Machine Learning.
6. Try for PSU jobs which have their own exams like SAIL. More info on "PSU" tab here
7. If you are fed up with studies (I don't know why you want to do M.Tech. then) then consider joining any other institute. Many of them have their own tests as well as consider GATE.
