Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

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

Why do old men think young women and girls would want them over guys their own age?

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: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'

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?'

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

After a minute...

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

What if the girl says that drama about you dating here? Is that a bad sign?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

What is something you have to share?

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

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

Awkward silence

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

"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!).

What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still think about to this day?

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

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.

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

Do dogs feel love?

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. 💪😌"

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

Why do good-looking men date homely women?

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