GATE vs JEE (Advance/Mains)
GATE exam is considered tougher than JEE exams. Students appearing in the GATE exam will get opportunities like admission in the Master's programs, job opportunities, Fellowships, etc whereas the students appearing in the JEE exam will get admission in the IITs, NITs, or private institutions for the undergraduate programs. This proved that the level of the questions asked in the JEE exam is lower than the GATE exam.
Competition and demand for a good score in the GATE exam are higher than the JEE exams. Although more than 11 Lakhs of students sit for JEE exam each year, still the quality of competition is more in the GATE exam with 8 Lakhs applicants.
The syllabus of the GATE exam is quite vast and deep compared to the JEE syllabus. The level of General Aptitude testing is also high in the GATE exam. Math syllabus is also of a higher level of education asked in GATE than in JEE.
Why is GATE Tough?
The GATE exam is considered tough because of many reasons. Let us try and find out why this exam is considered tough for Graduates.
- The syllabus of the GATE exam is wide and challenging. There are many subtopics in the GATE syllabus. Every topic which is read and studied in the graduation course is covered in the GATE exam along with General Aptitude.
- Not only MCQ-based questions are asked in the GATE exam. Numerical Answer Type questions are known to be very challenging and require precise calculation up to a few decimal points.
- Even though a virtual calculator is provided in the GATE exam still the calculations and numeric questions are quite challenging to solve and process.
- 65 questions are required to be solved within a 3 hours span.
- Covering the complete syllabus is difficult for students. Along with the syllabus completion, multiple revision of the syllabus is really important and requires 3-4 hours daily revision which is time-consuming for students and overburdens the students.
- The virtual calculator also requires extra practice since it is a bit different from the normal scientific calculators. Operating and becoming cognisant of the virtual calculator is another task for the students.
