Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'

Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the 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.

Want to join the Indian Forces? NDA/CDS is the toughest. The same goes for SSC-CGL/CHSL/IBPS exams.

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

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

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

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

Me: 'Exactly.'

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.'

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

Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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.'
