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: '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?'

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?

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

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

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

What smell will you never forget?

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

What is it like to be a Christian in Iran?

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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.

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

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

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

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

Why are people saying that Trump is fat when he is an athletic 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds?

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.'

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

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

How was your JEE Advanced 2024 result?

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

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

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

Why can’t my wife just accept the fact that I’m going to cheat?

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

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.'

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

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

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

Awkward silence

What is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'
