Congratulations messages
Brothers congratulate each other in about four words and then change the subject. A card is a way round that, and these six are built to survive being read by someone who hates being praised.

Congratulations, bhai. Well earned, and I'm not going to embarrass you by saying it twice. You put the work in when nobody at all was watching, and it's landed exactly where it should have landed.
Continue writing with message 1You got it. Never in doubt at this end, whatever you were telling me at two in the morning back in March. Congratulations properly, and enjoy it before you start worrying about the next thing.
Continue writing with message 2Congratulations. Genuinely well done, and be warned that the whole family is going to be insufferable about this for at least a month. Deservedly so. Take the credit and let them get on with it.
Continue writing with message 3Well done. This is the part where I tell you I'm proud of you and you tell me to shut up, so let's get it over with quickly. Also, the first round is permanently on you from this point onwards.
Continue writing with message 4Congratulations. I've watched you take the long route to this and not complain about it once, which I'd never have managed. Whatever's next, you already know I'm here for it. Very happy for you today.
Continue writing with message 5Congratulations, bhai. You'll want to skip straight past this and start on whatever comes next, so before you do: this was hard, you did it without complaining about it once, and you deserve every bit of the noise the family is about to make. Take a day and let it just be good news.
Name the awkwardness and use it as the joke. This is the part where I say I am proud and you say shut up does the sincere work and the deflecting work in one line, which is the only reliable way to be earnest with a brother.
Be exact about the achievement. Brothers spot vagueness instantly and read it as not having paid attention. The specific exam, the specific company, the specific number of attempts — one of those proves you were following it.
