JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) is the entrance exam for admission in IITs and NITs for graduation level. GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test For Engineers) is the test for pursuing post-graduation in IIT and for jobs in the field of engineering in a government sector.

No, for GATE you need to do B.Tech/BE. Non- engineering graduates are not eligible for GATE.
