Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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.

Awkward silence

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

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: '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?'

After a minute...

As a friend of Megan's who also watches Suits, would you advise her not to return to the show in order to protect her character's reputation?

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

What's an underrated/unknown novel or series that you think deserves more attention?

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Is it accurate to say that while Donald Trump has "America First" policy, the Democratic Party has "Other nations first" policy?

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

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

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

Why did I move on so fast from a relationship that was my whole life and I was so attached, I moved on by 2 months?

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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

How can I move on from my ex?

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

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

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

Why are fewer English people going to their local pubs for a drink? Are they aware that many pubs are shutting down due to lack of customers?

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

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

"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!).

Why do people love to live alone in a house?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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.'

Are you struggling with weight loss and finding it hard to stay consistent? What’s your biggest challenge when trying to lose weight at home?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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