Sister: 'Okay, but...'
Sister: 'Obviously, a statement.'
Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'
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.
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: 'Yes, it is,' I agreed.

Cricket isn’t the only tough game; the Olympics, Para Olympics, Tennis, Golf, etc., are equally tough. It might just be over-hyped.'
Sister: 'Nothing. But what’s wrong with admitting JEE is the toughest exam?'
She stared at me for about 10-15 seconds, then went back to watching the video.
Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'
Me: 'Was that a statement or a question?'
Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'
Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'

Me: 'So that means it's the toughest exam?'

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