Hello Varghese Ninan. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.

Please understand that studying in BITS is a prestige in itself and if you shine well, you have a chance of going to heights. I would like to direct your attention to this Quora question for more information:

According to me, I feel that you can write GATE or you can sit and prepare one year for placements.

Hope this helps you and all the best!
