Dear Nikhil,
All Engineering colleges do not accept GATE as admission process for M.Tech programmes. GATE is however required for all IITs, NITs, IIITs, CFTIs, etc. The percentage obtained in B.Tech is not important for GATE. Only the completion of B.E/B.Tech degree is important. So it all depends upon the college.
Don't worry with your marks.even though you got low percentage you can go admission in Mtech.
For this you have to write non gate exams. There are so many institutes for Mtech admissions.
