Is GATE tougher than JEE?

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

After a minute...

Can a hoodoo or candle spell be used to remove a love spell placed on someone by another person? What is the difference between voodoo and hoodoo?

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

Why cant I sleep on my side after getting my covid vaccine? I just got the shot and I’ve been overstimulated from not being able to sleep, my arm is very sore and it hurts so much to move and I just want to sleep but it hurts if I lay on either side

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

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

What is your favourite true story to tell at a party?

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

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

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.'

When you visit a store, do you go to shop or buy?

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

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

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

— we are metamorphosing!

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

What timeless pieces do you believe every wardrobe should possess?

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

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: 'Okay, but...'
