Me: 'I mean, are you comparing the failure rates, syllabus, depth of understanding, question difficulty, or the range of topics covered?'

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

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

Me: 'Exactly! What's the point of comparing different exams? What are you trying to say?'

Sister: 'What parameters? (Dodged the question)'

Sister (showing me a video): 'Then why is this guy talking nonsense? Everyone knows JEE is tougher.'

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

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