Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Awkward silence

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

Why do men choose to marry a plain Jane woman over a pretty woman?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

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

I see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

What celebrity do you admire the most?

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

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

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

If I get served by someone else's papers, am I legally required to inform the person that they got served, or the court that they served the wrong person?

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

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: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Is it accurate to say that while Donald Trump has "America First" policy, the Democratic Party has "Other nations first" policy?

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

— we are metamorphosing!

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

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

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?'

When North Koreans visit other countries for the Olympics, what stops some of them fleeing away into that host country?

After a minute...

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: 'Was that a statement or a question?'

Why do most atheists in debates with theists take Bible verses out of context much of the time? Are they lying maliciously or do they not understand theology enough to understand the meaning?

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

"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!).

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

As it happened: Breakaway holds on for victory ahead of GC contenders on the final stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné - Cyclingnews

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.'
