You are not eligible.
Count yourself from DOJ-LWD.
First count 4 years.
If you have completed 240 days in 5th year then you are eligible or you are not eligible as per the Act.
The employer can provide Gratuity by its sweet will even if you have not completed 5 years or 4Y240D.
You may also have a chance to apply your skills if gratuity is mentioned in CTC/annual pay package.
