Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

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

There's no way Republican Trump won all seven swing states. How was he able to cheat and steal the election?

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

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

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

What is one thing which you cannot stop however hard you try?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

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

Awkward silence

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

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

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 Google/Facebook.'

How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?

After a minute...

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

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

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.

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

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

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

Why is Bollywood failing?

"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!).

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

In the New Testament, Christ quotes the Ethiopian book of Enoch. How do the Sola Scriptura folks square this circle?

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.'

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.'

How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?

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

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?'
