Nothing is inherently tougher or easier; it all depends on what you’re aiming for. 💪😌"
Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'
Me: 'Board exams are easy.'
Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
Me: 'Exactly.'
Sister: 'Hmm, yes. The same goes for entrepreneurship or starting a business, right? They’re also tough if you want to succeed.'

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?'
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: 'Obviously, a statement.'
I replayed her words in my mind. Was that a slight dig? 🤔
Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'
Me: 'So that means it's the toughest exam?'

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.

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: 'How can you compare? They serve different purposes and happen at different stages.'
