How do police officers feel about the fear they instill into criminals?
Sister: 'No way, it’s not even relevant to compare them.'
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: 'Board exams are easy.'
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: '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.
