No, A third or higher year student may appear for the GATE exam, but he or she will not get a job in PSUs. According to rules, only final-year students are eligible to apply for public sector undertakings (PSU) with their GATE score. However, GATE scores are valid for 3 years for M.Tech admissions, and therefore you may pursue M.Tech. If you want to apply for PSU, then appear for the GATE exam in your final year or after completing graduation, as the validity of the GATE score for a PSU job is just one year.
