Is GATE tougher than JEE?

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

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

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?'

If nobody will hire me, should I turn to crime to pursue a career in programming? I ask because if there's no legal entry-level jobs due to the oversaturation, I might have to go underground for it.

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

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.'

Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

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: 'Exactly.'

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

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

After a minute...

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

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

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: 'Board exams are easy.'

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

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?'
