Hi,
So you are in 6th semester. I think, it is too early to start applying for Masters abroad. There are certain things that you need to complete first. Your GMAT Score, Your work experience (it matters a lot, you cannot afford to comprise with it), your Essay written ability and your LoRs. Once you are sure about all these things (assuming that you already have a relevant visa and passport), you can start applying for abroad. You need some time first. Kindly, have at least 1 year of work experience after your graduation (this is bare minimum). In the meantime, you can also search for good MBA colleges abroad also. Hope this helps. Upvote the answer if you feel satisfies, Good Luck.

GATE is an examination to test your technical knowledge in a particular field of study. Clearing GATE with a good score can land you in technical jobs in PSUs and also opens doors for you to undertake research in reputed institutions like the IITs. UPSC Civil service is a completely different job profile which does not include anything of technical nature unless you opt for technical paper as your optional subject. UPSC CSE tests your overall knowledge in every field from History and geography to international relations. Both these exams have very low pass percentile, with GATE focusing only on your subject of study, while UPSC testing its vast syllabus. Please take a look at the syllabus for both exams, available in their official sites for more information. Best of luck.
