Advice about GATE for IITs ( India)?

Hi, Im in my t.e. and want to appear for Gate 2009.


I wanted to know wat percentile or rank-range is required to qualify for courses in the IITs.


Also, is there any other exam I can give which is similar to Gate ?


What happens if I get a good score , but not good enough to qualify for IITs. Do some post-graduate universities grant admission going by the GATE score ?


Which reputed universities should I do M.tech or M.E. from ?





Would be really grateful if someone could help outAdvice about GATE for IITs ( India)?
You need 98+ percentile to get into IITs;





There are many good other institutes like IIIT, I2IT etc. if you get more than 85-90 but not get enough for IIT.
