Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

"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!).

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

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

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

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

What are the coolest new smart home gadgets to upgrade your living space?

Me: 'Was that a statement or a 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.

What are the easiest stores for shoplifting?

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?'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Awkward silence

Is it wrong of me to feel uncomfortable that my friend thinks my brother is hot?

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Why are you bare-nakedly displaying your anti-Trump bias while ignoring the liberals' destruction of the US? I am now blocking your e-mails because of your biased articles.

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

Why do so many men on the internet try to compete with women, or try to "humble" and bash them? There's so many videos across my tiktok and YouTube of men claiming how they're wanting to get back at women and put them in thier place.

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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.'
