6 years agoYes, you can definitely appear for GATE after your M.Sc in Botany (even via distance learning). GATE is basically an exam for a higher degree like M.Tech or Ph.D and through this test, you are selected on the basis of your rank for different institutes for pursuing your higher studies. So, you can appear for it. -
