Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

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

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

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.

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

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

How was your JEE Mains 2024 April attempt?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

After a minute...

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

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

Why is US hell bent on a private capitalist free opinion sharing platform like Tiktok? What happened to their mantra of so-called free spirit of capitalism and freedom of expression that they have been preaching to the rest of the world for decades?

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

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

Why do Brits drive a lot more dangerously compared to Americans? Is there just no courtesy when driving in the UK?

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

Do you find Anushka Sen attractive?

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.'

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.'

Why is Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

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

Why do American conservatives say that America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy? Would it not make sense to call America a constitutional republican democracy?

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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?'
