Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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.'

Would you join a gym or workout at home and why?

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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

Why can't I lose weight?

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

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

Why did my 2001 4.6 liter Mustang GT V8 make "only" 260 HP while today's base Dodge 3.6 liter V6 churns out almost 300 HP? Both benefit from fuel injection and ECUs.

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

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

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.

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 can I get my ex-husband to love me again?

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

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Is it okay if I sleep with my brother without my husband knowing?

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

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