GATE

Yes, you can join IIST - Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology- after GATE exam. As per the IIST admission guideines it accepts exams like GATE and JEST for admission to its offered specialisations. M.Tech admission is based on the 'Admission List' which is prepared on the rank list, an available number of vacancies, and preferences given by the candidate. Selection for the rank list is done based on the valid score of the national exams followed by an online interview. Interested candidates can check below the IIST eligibility criteria for BTech:

Eligibility Criteria: Bachelor's degree with 60% aggregate for General / EWS & OBC category and 55% for SC/ST & PwD category.

Selection Criteria: GATE and JEST (for M.Tech in Earth System Science & Master of Science in Astronomy and Astrophysics)

A GATE percentile of 88% is unquestionably a respectable grade, and it improves your chances of being accepted into the National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology Gorakhpur's (NIELIT Gorakhpur) M.Tech programmes. Different M.Tech programmes are available at NIELIT Gorakhpur, with varying entrance requirements. A program's popularity, the number of seats available, and the general calibre of the candidate pool all influence the cutoffs.

The cutoffs for some competitive programmes, such as Computer Science & Engineering, may be greater than the 90th percentile, in contrast to other programmes, such as Electronics & Communication Engineering. Your needed cut-off may be lower than for the general merit category if you fall into one of the reservation groups (SC, ST, or OBC). Along with other considerations like work experience and performance in the institute-level interview (if applicable), NIELIT Gorakhpur takes GATE scores into account for admission.
