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!).

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

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

What is the difference between heaven and heavens?

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?'

After a minute...

Awkward silence

Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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.

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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.'

Why are white men so obsessed with Asian women? I'm friends with people from all different backgrounds but I never see my other non-white male friends obsess over or talk about Asian women like I've seen the white ones do.

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

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

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

Why do creationists ask for proof of evolution and then ignore the answers?

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

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

Sister: 'Okay, but...'

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

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

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

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

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

How did Nickelback gain a large fan base despite criticism of their music?

Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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.'

What are some ways to identify and avoid logical fallacies, such as straw man and red herring, in an argument?

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

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