Sister: 'Okay, but...'
Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'
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: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'
Me: 'Board exams are easy.'
Sister: 'Hmm, yes. The same goes for entrepreneurship or starting a business, right? They’re also tough if you want to succeed.'

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

Nothing is inherently tougher or easier; it all depends on what you’re aiming for. 💪😌"
Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'
Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
Sister: 'No way, it’s not even relevant to compare them.'
After a minute...
Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'
Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'
Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'
Me: 'So that means it's the toughest exam?'
I can not sleep. what is the problem?
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.'
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.'
Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'
