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

She stared at me for about 10-15 seconds, then went back to watching the video.

Me: 'So that means it's 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.'
