Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

How do I explain to my husband that my 19-year-old son has accidentally gotten me pregnant?

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

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

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

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

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

Awkward silence

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.'

What are the basic human needs according to psychology? What are the consequences of not meeting these needs?

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

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

After a minute...

What are some very specific groups of people you just cannot stand?

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

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

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

Why do some people have sex with dogs?

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

What happens if someone fills up their car at the pump but leaves without paying? How is this situation typically handled?

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

"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!).

Can you share something that captivates you, whether it's an idea, a discovery, or an invention?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

I've played The Outer Worlds 2, and this Xbox RPG seriously improves on its predecessor in one big way - Windows Central

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

How can someone effectively handle a targeted individual?

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

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