    Dear Sir,
    I am persuing AMIE Electrical engineering and currently working as JE in PGCIL.I want to join IITs or IIS to persue MTech. I know GATE is the way into IITs but I want little guidance how to prepare for it(as most of your posts are for regular students).And also I want to know persons who joined IITs/IIS having AMIE Electrical engineering.
