Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

After a minute...

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

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

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

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

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

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

What is your biggest mistake or regret?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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.'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

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.

Have you ever followed through being bi-curious?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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.'
