How can I boot directly to tty3 without seeing any GUI (login screen of gnome)? I don't want to press Ctrl+Alt+F3 on every startup.

This is not specifically tty3 but,
In a terminal...
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
will take you straight to the console on boot...
...and if this is not what you wanted
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target will bring back your desktop on boot...

Can I switch to gnome-shell back? – Oct 08 '20 at 10:30

@maDeveloper yes... if you can `sudo init 5` or `startx` and it will start your graphical desktop session from there. – WU-TANG Oct 08 '20 at 10:38
