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

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

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

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

Me: 'Board exams are easy.'

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.'
