Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Me: 'Exactly.'

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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.'

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

Why does Boko Haram attack its own Muslims?

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?'

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

"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 have I done wrong? How can I start over?

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

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

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

How common is it for siblings to fight over their parents' inheritance money? What is the best way to handle this type of situation?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

After a minute...

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

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

Who is the most dangerous or evilest person of all time?

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

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

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

Do very hot men ever feel attracted to an ugly woman? Why?

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

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

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.'

Did you ever accidentally have sex with your brother/sister in India?

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

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

Awkward silence

Beautiful European women were killed by inquisition but Russia was not Catholic. Is this the reason for a drastic difference explaining why Russian women are the prettiest?

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

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.
