Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

Awkward silence

What's an uncomfortable truth you've learned to accept?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

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

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

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.'

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

Why did Mark Lane harass Helen Markham during an illegally recorded telephone conversation to misidentify Lee Harvey Oswald who she witnessed as the shooter of Tippit?

After a minute...

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

How do I develop the patience to read books?

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!).

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

What is the problem between Turkey and Greece?

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

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

Is it true that in 2028 there will be a new AIDS variant that will wipe out all the LBGTQ+ people?

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

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.

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.'

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Sorry, Trump supporters, but eventually it will have to be asked: Why didn't Trump do as well in his first term as he is doing NOW?

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

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

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

Is there such a thing as "left wing fascism"? If not, what is an example of a political ideology that is often mistakenly labeled as "left wing fascism"?

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

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