Hey,
It is good to opt for some things and others in your life, but make sure you go through all the pros and cons before taking up and decision. GATE is not at all easy and after having a gap of a year it will be really commendable if you take that risk and work on it.
But as you have mentioned that your family wants you to opt for masters, but I would say do what you feel best for your upcoming career.
Good luck.
