Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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.'

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

Do you believe that Jesus was God on Earth?

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: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

Why aren't there any Indian girls married to Chinese guys but Chinese girls married to Indian guys?

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Awkward silence

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

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

Do you agree with Michael Moore that Donald Trump is "toast" in a political comeback?

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

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

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

What is the worst emotional pain you ever felt as an adult?

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.'

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

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

Republicans, why do you support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump?

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

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

Is there a possibility that we are living in a simulation and that there is a concept of rebirth?

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

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

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

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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.

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

Me: 'Exactly.'

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