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.'

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

Why don’t the little sugar breeches gun owners understand that life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows?

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

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

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

Why do I feel so lazy every time I get into my room?

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

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

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

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

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?'

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

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.

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.'

"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!).

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
