Hello Bavithra,
You may continue with your job. After 2 years just apply for a PhD at NUS. If one applies using GATE/GRE qualification at NUS/Germany, he/she doesn't have to pay any fee. Average scholarship received is not less than INR 1 lakh per month.
Avoid doing M.Tech from a regional college, especially when you have GATE qualification with you. If you want to go for M.Tech, you should pursue from an IIT. If you want to go for PhD in future, then better by-pass M.Tech and directly enroll for a PhD after your job experience (again, pursue it either from an IIT or NUS/Germany). Meanwhile ensure that you go for some conferences, present some posters, or get one or two research/review papers.
Teaching is not the only option after PhD. You can get some administrative jobs in research firms, can become a scientist in CSIR labs/institutes (only if you pursue PhD from an institute of repute). Teaching being the safest route is finally taken up by most people. Jobs are there for PhD people, but they are often not in plenty (considering the large pool of PhDs graduating these days. Competition is stiff in job sector for PhDs, but deserving ones always get their share!).
Hope it helps
Best wishes
Sunil
