Being an engineering candidate, you must opt for the Graduate Aptitude test in Engineering. You have spent your four years in engineering then what is the need to join management. Therefore GATE would be the best option for higher studies as well as job opportunities.

If you manage to score well in the GATE exam, you can get admission in the top engineering colleges of India like IIT, NIT, IIIT etc. Second thing is that if your rank is well within top 500, you can get call letters for recruitment in top Public Sector Undertakings of India like NTPC, BHEL, SAIL, GAIL etc.

You are eligible for appearing for both the entrance exams.
