I passed B.tech-CS in 2014 with 57% marks. Throughout the school and college I was never serious about my studies or future. I was not clear what I wanted to do in my life.(No one was there to guide and I had no idea of the different options). I did not know the value of marks. I was just told to clear B.Tech and get a job. That was all I knew. I was so dumb that I did not know till college 3rd year that companies recruiting the graduates specify a minimum percentage to be eligible for their recruitment process. But I anyhow got job as Software Developer after my college in a good MNC and in next 3 years(till Sept 2017) I was having 3 years experience and worked in top two service based MNCs as Java Developer.
While working in these companies, I realized the value of learning. I learnt a lot. I learnt by myself. I came to know the value of self learning. My mind stared runnning, it got sharp. I was able to learn and write code easily compared to all others colleagues. In just a year in company, I was at a stage to replace the 5-6 years experienced people in the company. That is when I got the confidence that I am better than a large population out there. I can learn practical things fast, but it is difficult for me to mugup things. So, while working I developed an interest to learn more about computer and I decided to study further for my learning and professional growth. So in September 2017, I quit my job just when I completed my 3 years of work experience to prepare for GATE. Till April-May 2017 I was not having any idea what GATE is, its syllabus or pattern etc. It was 3 years that I passed out of college and since than I have not touched or read anything that was taught in B.Tech. But then in 6 months I went from 0 to 47 marks in GATE. Predicted rank is around 1200.
Now, I am stuck. I feel like my Graduation percentage is haunting me. When I want to do something and when I know what I want to do, doors are closed for me. Everywhere above 60% is needed at least. Be it IIT, NIT, any foreign university etc. Be it any other exam.
Please let me know that can I do and how can I proceed. What are the ways out there for me.
Thanks.
