Sister: 'Obviously Google/Facebook.'

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

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

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.

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

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.'
