Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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.'

Why is America so fucked up?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

After a minute...

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

How good do you sing and how do you know this?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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?'

How do I know if I am a bitch? I try to be a nice person but people often jokingly call me a bitch. My family calls me a bitch sometimes too.

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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.'

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

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

Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?

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

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?

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