Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

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.

What is your review of the Redmi 9A? Is it worth buying?

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

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

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

Why are most people broke?

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

Why do I feel bad when I see white girls dating black guys, am I racist?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

What sexual experience did you have at a highway rest area?

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

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

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

Are today’s baseball pitchers faster than a few years ago, or is it that radar guns have improved and get the pitch speed as it is released rather than as it reaches the plate?

"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!).

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! 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.'

If I get served by someone else's papers, am I legally required to inform the person that they got served, or the court that they served the wrong person?

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...

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

Awkward silence

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

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

Why do flat-earthers claim the 1967 photo of Earth from space was made with CGI, even though CGI didn't exist back then?

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?'
