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.

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

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

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: 'Yes, it is,' I agreed.

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

"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!).

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

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

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

Since when has Taylor Swift become a political journalist? What are her qualifications to recommend candidates for office? Johnathan Swift, maybe, but not Taylor?

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

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

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.'
