GATE vs NET for MCA students

 

Yes, An MCA student is eligible for the GATE exam.

In my opinion, If you are planning to join an M.Tech then it's not a good idea as you have post graduation MCA already.

If you want to join PhD in IITs or IISc, you have two options, which will be considered for the selection of the candidates for PhD are,

• UGC NET JRF in Computer Science.
• GATE Computer Science.

Age limit for NET JRF is 28 years for general category and 5 years relaxation for OBC, SC, ST and women. And there is no age limit for NET Lectureship.

By qualifying NET you can apply for the post of Assistant Professor in Universities.
