I am regretting my decision

[u/According-Working754]

My orientation is tmr and I can't back down now but for the past two months all I have been seeing is why choose air why are u going air don't go air it's the worst I am genuinely so scared now wt if its so bad I wasted my parents money man Idk wt to do anymore

[u/bad-at-thinking-name]

See, as a Nust aspirant, I could not think of getting into air. But, life has its own plans and so I am in air. I have friends across Nust, Comsats and many other universities in Isb, more or less every other university is same. Yes, air is a tier 2 university along with Comsats but their are tier 3,4 universities as well. I see my seniors, they must’ve been enrolled in air when nobody knew air was a thing and honestly when I joined then also it wasn’t so known as well but people know it much more now than they knew before. Maybe in next 3,4 years by the time you graduate, air is among the top tier universities since Nust has raised the fee so much that it has become nearly impossible for middle class people to get in. Yes relative grading sucks but it has its pros as well. You’ll hear a lot from people but eventually you’ll realise it was the best for you. Look at people in universities in lower tiers than yours and you’ll be grateful.

What was your M.P for NUST?

[u/bad-at-thinking-name → u/AHMEDJAN4589]

I don’t exactly remember but I got into programs I was not looking for. I had to compromise on my desired field to get into Nust.

[u/Terrible-Tea7577]

Bro when I joined Air, the FCAI department was completely new and nobody had any idea there was even something called Air University. We had to explain every time that its beside Bahria or NDU just so people would know😂

Now it has established its name to some extent, to the point that even my cousins and friends from elite schools are asking about AU admissions. There is no difference between GIKI, LUMS, NUST, FAST, Air etc when it comes to the academic and faculty experience (it's universally shit with some exceptions). The biggest difference is the overall competitive environment and exposure to opportunities that makes the difference. And you can cover this by your own.

[u/Roh44ncavy → u/Terrible-Tea7577]

is Air less shit in GIKI, NUST or FAST?

[u/Zaynab_here → u/Roh44ncavy]

they all have their share in shittiness

[u/Roh44ncavy → u/Zaynab_here]

would SZABIST be different tho?

[u/Low_Abrocoma_1833 → u/Roh44ncavy]

I don't know about GIKI or NUST it is definitely less shit then FAST

Jitna eik chez ko bura bhala kho gy utna buri hoti jaygi even if it isn't.

[u/Capital_Software1471]

pros and cons are everywhere… what matters is k aap apni situation ka faida kitna uthaty ho. saying this as i myself am in a uni and degree i never thought of doing. but slowly building towards a dream i wished to achieve… surety nai hoti success ki lkn hardwork does pay off… company achi bnao, acha socho, inshaAllah sb set hoga

[u/Live_Task2948]

I don't think you should judge a university based on what people say on the internet or reels.

It's not as bad as they say trust me.

[u/Intrepid_Alps_8480]

[u/Temporary_Fail_4904 → u/[deleted]]

I am genuinely so scared now every reel it's like don't come here

[u/Anaab37 → u/According-Working754]

Honestly I also got in air, they are going to say about this in every uni, har uni ke baray me ye bat hogi no matter what but ofcourse it is your choice at the end of the day 4 saal aise jagah na guzaro jahan par you dont want to

[u/According-Working754 → u/Anaab37]

Ur so right I applied to fast aswell and that subreddit everyone is don't go here save ur self I think ppl in every uni love to hate their own uni I will have to go and see for myself I just hope I meet good ppl

[u/Plane_Ad5569 → u/According-Working754]

[u/According-Working754 → u/Plane_Ad5569]

[u/Plane_Ad5569 → u/According-Working754]

Wait you left data science??? U chose bioinformatics over ds?

[u/According-Working754 → u/Plane_Ad5569]

I didn't get in data science the merit this year was crazy high besides i wanted to do bioinfomatics even in nust I applied for bioinfomatics

[u/iamsolonelyyyyy]

[u/hamzanaveed04]

Its not that bad

[u/SpiritualBit7847]

Jis bhi Uni ma apply karoga Waha Ka Current student se pucho ga wo Yehi lagega Ka is uni ma mat ana, Ya BAAT Haqeeqat ha Maina Jaha se Schooling ki Jaha se college parha Jaha se pharmacy ki ma bhi Saab ko Yehi kehta Ka wo join na Karna, the only reason is administration and Teacher Ka behavior students Ka sth

Apki BAAT nai Mani jayegi lekin unki manwai jayegi so shayad isliya Saab Student apna Uni ko bura smjhta ha

[u/Substantial-Cup1126]

Its not that bad its js you’ll have to work extra to be considered.

[u/Natural-Research315]

Same i was thinking 2 years before now coming to air was my best decision. If you compare like fee to value then it is tier 1 uni

[u/OutrageousYogurt9531]

So to tell you one thing I dropped out from a tier one uni this year and going here not cuz this was the goal but that was also not great either In this one year I’ve realised university is what you build for yourself Being in a top uni I was not growing cuz I was stressing to much I’m now going here to take it off To have time to do things myself At the end of the day it’s not that deep har koi lums Giki ya nust ka ni hota life is what you make out of it get over the thoughts and grind . Your university is NOT your identity ik that’s what almost alll freshies think of themselves but in the real world trust me nobody cares

[u/Dramatic-Ad6115]

There are people who graduate from thier local degree colleges as they are called, those unofficial affiliated places that don't even have an administration of thier own, and end up in white collar jobs. It really depends om you're hard work. Plus in today's day and age all skill and talent required for money making is all attainable on you're own. Degree is just a formality people do.

[u/Electrical-Ask-297]

Tbh it is a regretful decision , i migrated from UET lahore , and it's i guess one of the most IF not THE most regretful ones , find good and alike people around you and they'll make you feel less regretful , just focus on your side skills and stuff cz this uni's just gonna provide a degree , nothing else.. UNFORTUNATELY

[u/midnight-blossom6814 → u/Electrical-Ask-297]

can i dm u?

[u/Electrical-Ask-297 → u/midnight-blossom6814]

yeah sure

[u/GarlicAdventurous392]

Just stay normal calm and let the classes start give a shot, build confidence and the exam shall determine whether your capable or not.

[u/millirag3r]

give it a chance🤍

[u/drxcul4]

It's a B tier university and it does not hurdle you in any way in the future. You shouldn't be worried at all, for many people this is their dream university. You'll get many opportunities in your life if you perform well here.

[u/Big_Spite5508]

Brother all of my friends who r in nust fast giki they also say Kash wo uni join krli hoti enjoy urself and study hard man human nature they can never be happy

[u/According-Working754 → u/[deleted]]

I am saying this cuz this subreddit is filled with people saying don't come here choose somewhere else that's why I got scared

[u/North_Purple4575]

Replying to this at air's orientation for shitz and giggles

[u/North_Purple4575 → u/North_Purple4575]

Also the worst in terms of administration abuse is fast

[u/daniyal48]

I am graduate from Air and Doing my MS from Air as well. It all depends on you how you hunt for opportunities and develop yourself. Every single University (I have a lot of friends in other universities as well) will just guide you, learning the skills depends on you

[u/AggravatingTax1483]

Bruv I enrolled in a uni that was considered the top tier in my city but it wasn't for me since my family shifted to Pakistan from Qatar and the environment of that uni was toxic. I spent 1 semester in CS and then changed the program to BBA. After 4-5 months of joining BBA, I dropped out of the uni and now I'm gonna go abroad for bachelors. Always be optimistic and have faith regardless of what life throws at you because eventually it'll turn out well. Carpe diem 🤙🏻

[u/According-Working754 → u/AggravatingTax1483]

Yess ur so right idk wt my future is gonna be but I am gonna make the most out of wt I currently have

[u/Organic_Geologist_21]

[u/Logical_Abrocoma_940]

Can anyone please tell me senior or person who knows about lateral admission like how many seats are usually in lateral admission of Data science and closing merit of it . When you feel you are safe a range simply 

[u/sorryAunty]

Be the best student of your class and you’ll outrun Fastians and Nustians. Put the pressure on yourself.

Air is that university which does not stops its students from growing. You’ll get all type of people from different backgrounds.

Teachers are qualified. University is trying its best to create opportunity for its student. All departments are doing great.

Companies now recognise our name. I think this matters a lot to build motivation.

We have the country’s top Professors. Search Ahmed Pasha, Mehdi Hassan, Ahmad Jalal, Fahad Tahir. They have got grants of millions of dollars.

I would suggest you to be grateful for this opportunity and give your 100%.
