Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

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

Why do some people have loving parents and some do not?

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

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.'

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

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

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.

Are you happy with your life?

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

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

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

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

If Delta Force soldiers wanted to form a criminal gang, how dangerous would they be with all their equipment (explosives, rifles, vests, night vision goggles)?

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

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

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: '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?'
