Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Me: 'Everyone agrees JEE is tough. It’s impressive to have such a deep understanding at a young age. But let me ask you, which do you think is tougher, getting into Google/Facebook or IIT?'

Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'

I replayed her words in my mind. Was that a slight dig? 🤔

Was there any slavery of white people that actually compares to the transatlantic slave trade? I’m not baiting or anything actually genuinely curious and want to know.

Sister: 'Really? Huh! Do you know how tough it is to give exams for nearly a month? And if you don’t get over 95%, you won’t get into a good college.'

Sister: 'Hmm, yes. The same goes for entrepreneurship or starting a business, right? They’re also tough if you want to succeed.'

Me: 'Look, if you want to get into the best DU colleges, the board exam is the toughest. If you want IIT, then JEE is the toughest. If you aim for IAS/IPS, CSE is the toughest. For PSUs or IITs for Masters, Gate is the toughest. For foreign universities, GRE/GMAT is the toughest. For AIIMS, it’s the toughest. For becoming a CA, that’s the toughest for you. Want to join the Indian Forces? NDA/CDS is the toughest. The same goes for SSC-CGL/CHSL/IBPS exams.

What is life without a job?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

Cricket isn’t the only tough game; the Olympics, Para Olympics, Tennis, Golf, etc., are equally tough. It might just be over-hyped.'

Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'

Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'

Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

What is the best case of “You just picked a fight with the wrong person” that you've witnessed?

Me: 'Exactly.'

Me: 'Yes, it is,' I agreed.

"Sister: 'Gate is easy,' said my sister who scored well in JEE Mains and Advanced but wasn’t happy with her board marks (around 94%, but she didn’t think it was good enough!).

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

After a minute...

She stared at me for about 10-15 seconds, then went back to watching the video.

Me: 'Now, if Google had a common exam to recruit, which would be tougher: JEE or the Google exam?'

What is one fantasy you have never told anyone about but really want to do?

Nothing is inherently tougher or easier; it all depends on what you’re aiming for. 💪😌"

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'

As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

Me: 'Exactly! The same applies to Gate. When people say Gate is tough, they usually mean it’s tough for PSUs. Gate questions might be easier, but the competition is fierce due to limited seats.'

Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'

Sister: 'Nothing. But what’s wrong with admitting JEE is the toughest exam?'

What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?

Sister: 'How can you compare? They serve different purposes and happen at different stages.'

Me: 'So that means it's the toughest exam?'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Awkward silence

Sister: 'No way, it’s not even relevant to compare them.'
