Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Awkward silence

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

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

How did you as a human being change while growing up?

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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.

My stepmother has banned me from the family. Can she legally keep me from going to my father's funeral?

After a minute...

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

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

Can the existence of past lives be proven without the use of hypnosis or a pendulum to inquire about previous incarnations?

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: 'Exactly.'

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 you say "I don't speak Italian yet, but I hope to speak it well one day. It would be a pleasure to learn Italian with you. Would you like to teach me Italian?" in Italian?

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

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.'

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

Who's your celebrity crush?

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

How do I become mentally strong?

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.'

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

Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

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

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

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

If a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?

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

"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: 'Okay, but...'

What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'
