Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

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?'

What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?

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

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

After a minute...

What do you do when your family doesn’t care about you?

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: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

How can someone in your family purposely try to destroy your reputation?

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

Have you ever had sex with your female cousin? How did it start?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Awkward silence

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

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

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

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.

What are your funniest "lost in translation" moments if you grew up speaking more than one language?

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

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

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.'

How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

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