Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Awkward silence

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

What real evidence is there to believe in legends such as the story of Atlandida or the lost continent of Lemuria?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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!).

Why do I randomly start sweating a lot in public (while waiting in line, in a new class, etc.) then start sweating more because I’m embarrassed that I’m sweating so much? Is this social anxiety?

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

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

What are some tips for balancing chores, work, and family life as an adult with children?

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.'

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

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

Do you believe that social media companies should allow posts spreading misinformation about election results, as suggested by Rep. Jim Jordan?

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

After a minute...

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

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

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.'

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

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

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

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.

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 confront your own family for not inviting you or leaving you out of things?

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: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

Have you ever had your crush reject you, and then later you all dated and married?

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

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

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

What can I do to deal with disrespectful children?

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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