Is GATE tougher than JEE?

After a minute...

Me: 'Exactly.'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

Whenever I write a novel, I struggle with the end, should I make it open? Should the good win or the bad win? Sometime I don't even have an ending, what should I do?

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: 'So that means it's 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!).

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

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

What is the story of how you met your spouse?

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

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

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?'

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

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

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.

Why does my iPhone keep on saying I can’t upload photos to iCloud and say it doesn't have enough iCloud storage when it still has space?

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

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

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

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

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