Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

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

As an atheist don't you really feel fear for committing sins which are not violating national laws?

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

After a minute...

What happens when you get sick in a country with universal healthcare? What's the process like?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

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: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Me: 'Exactly.'

Should India conduct another air strike to attack Pakistan over the Pahalgam attack?

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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

What steps have you taken to stop being a targeted individual by gang stalkers? What has worked, what would you have done differently?

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

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

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

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

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.'

Why do I feel so tired all the time even after a good night’s sleep?

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?'

Awkward silence

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

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

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