"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?'
Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'
Which type of physical cable has fastest transmission speed?
Sister: 'Hmm, yes. The same goes for entrepreneurship or starting a business, right? They’re also tough if you want to succeed.'
Me: 'Now, if Google had a common exam to recruit, which would be tougher: JEE or the Google exam?'
I replayed her words in my mind. Was that a slight dig? 🤔
What causes you to be tired all the time and major headaches?
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: '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.'
Nothing is inherently tougher or easier; it all depends on what you’re aiming for. 💪😌"
What does "feeling like your life is over" mean and why is it not in any dictionary online?
Sister: 'How can you compare? They serve different purposes and happen at different stages.'
After a minute...
Sister: 'Nothing. But what’s wrong with admitting JEE is the toughest exam?'
Awkward silence
Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'
Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'
Why do Muslims not get HIV/AIDS in spite of having 4 wives and multiple relationships?
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.
Cricket isn’t the only tough game; the Olympics, Para Olympics, Tennis, Golf, etc., are equally tough. It might just be over-hyped.'
Sister: 'No way, it’s not even relevant to compare them.'
What was your experience when trying GHB?
Me: 'Board exams are easy.'
Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'
Me: 'So that means it's the toughest exam?'
What should I do? I'm 17 and I'm dating a 23-year-old guy.
Me: 'Exactly.'
Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'
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.'
Is it okay or problematic to be both Black and gay in society in the 21st century?
Sister: 'Okay, but...'
Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'
Me: 'Yes, it is,' I agreed.
Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
She stared at me for about 10-15 seconds, then went back to watching the video.
