Is GATE tougher than JEE?

"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!).

Awkward silence

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

When will the new normal in the global economy return, following the panic caused by US President Donald Trump's tariff flip-flops?

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

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

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

Which unexpected celebrity has done a bold or revealing photoshoot?

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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

What are the potential implications of Meta withholding its multimodal AI models from the EU amid regulatory uncertainty?

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?'

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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.

Me: 'Exactly.'

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

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

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

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.'

After a minute...

Eum et amet quam est autem adipisci distinctio.

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

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

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

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

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.'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

What’s the best local food you’ve ever tried while traveling?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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?'

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.

Is there a correlation between being a medium and mental health?

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

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