Hello Kuldeep,
Yes, you can appear for GATE to be eligible for ONGC recruitment.If you have scored very good marks in GATE, you have chances of shortlisting for interview.It will not be a problem for you for the gap, just in case if you are questioned about the gap then you should have a valid satisfying answer. It will not be a problem at all as long as you have performed well in interview and group discussion. But PSUs do have age limit which is in between 25years -30 years, so before applying make sure that you meet age eligibility criteria.
