Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

Want to join the Indian Forces? NDA/CDS is the toughest. The same goes for SSC-CGL/CHSL/IBPS exams.

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.'
