Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'
Sister: 'Nothing. But what’s wrong with admitting JEE is the toughest exam?'
Sister: 'How can you compare? They serve different purposes and happen at different stages.'
Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'
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: 'Was that a statement or a question?'

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.

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: 'Now, if Google had a common exam to recruit, which would be tougher: JEE or the Google exam?'
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: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'
