Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Me: 'Exactly.'

Awkward silence

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

How does it feel to be in a marriage without any love?

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.'

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

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

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?'

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

What is your craziest/worst Halloween story?

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

I’m worried I have a bat bite on my hand, I have two small marks about 1 cm apart. I haven’t been in contact with a bat but I’m worried about at night. My fingers have a slight tingling sensation and my arm feels cold but isn’t. Am I ok?

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Do you think some men have sex with prostitutes because they're too afraid to talk to women? Money does the talking for them.

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

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

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 is the rudest/meanest thing a family member has said to you?

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

After a minute...

"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!).

Why do gun owners feel the need to defend themselves with deadly weapons? Can they not just talk things out like civilized people do?

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?

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

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

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

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

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