A GATE score of 350 for the DA (Data Analytics) subject is considered an average score. With this score, you can target a range of NITs (National Institutes of Technology) and some IIITs (Indian Institutes of Information Technology) for M.Tech programs. Specific colleges will depend on your category (General, OBC, SC/ST) and the branch you are interested in.
