MS GraduateExpertGATE is for MS/M.Tech in India (IITs, NITs, etc.) and also required for PSU jobs. GRE is for MS in the USA and other countries. If you want to study/work in India, GATE is the way to go. If you want to go abroad (USA, Europe), GRE is needed. Many students appear for both. GATE also qualifies you for MTECH with full stipend at IITs (~₹12,400/month).
