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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Do you believe that it is right that one Federal judge can block a President's decisions?

"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!).

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

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.'

Why do Muslims not get HIV/AIDS in spite of having 4 wives and multiple relationships?

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.

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

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

Why did my bipolar girlfriend split up with me?

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

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

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

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

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

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

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

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

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

After a minute...

My ex moved on so fast. How can I overcome the pain?

Me: 'Exactly.'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

How many wishes do people get on their birthday?

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

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

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

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

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