Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'

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

Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'
After a minute...
Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'
Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
Nothing is inherently tougher or easier; it all depends on what you’re aiming for. 💪😌"
