After asking here, I wrote Computer Science GATE and got a rank of 9900. I'm a mechanical engineer with a first class degree (also have a post graduate diploma in software technology).
Obviously the rank is not enough to get into any of the top universities, but are there any part time MTech programmes or evening classes or even full time MTech programmes that you know of or maybe someone you know might know of?
Ideally a college in Bangalore or Karnataka, but I'm ok with something out of state too.
