Will you tell me which exam between GATE or CDS is beneficial for me after completing B.tech in mechanical stream ?

[Quick Sam]

If you want to do further studies and want to make career in industry line should appear in GATE exam and clear it .

To do M.Tech is a best option for you after graduation in engineering.

Else if you want to go for defense services should appear in CDS exam and get entry in defense services. Defense service is also a good career option.
