Hello aspirant,

As per GATE 2021 which will be conducted by IIT Bombay, now students who are in the third year of their bachelor degree are also eligible to appear for GATE exam. Since you are a student of food technology (B. VOC) and if you're in the third or fourth year of your bachelor degree, then yes, you are eligible to appear for GATE/JAM exam so as to pursue your M. Tech/M. SC. For IIT JAM exam, there is no age bar and you should a bachelor degree with 55% minimum marks if you are from general category and 50% minimum marks if you are from ST/SC/PwD category. But prepare thoroughly as the papers are pretty tough.

Hope, you get the answer.
