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?'

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

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

How do introverts celebrate their birthday?

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: '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!).

After a minute...

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Me: 'Exactly.'

What trains transport cars and passengers near Pompano Beach, Florida that goes to New York?

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

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

What is the best way to get revenge on people who hurt you?

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

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

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

Is the 4B movement's aggressiveness against men for seeing women as mantelpieces valid?

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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.

Do you think most people would rather be a certain race or are most people happy with the race they are?

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

Awkward silence

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

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

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

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

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

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

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.'

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

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

How did the trans issue metastasize within just a decade from being a question of kindness and tolerance to a tiny minority to convulsing a whole society?

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

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