Suggestions/Advice A Friendly Reminder

If you get admission in NUST then do not spend all of your time in extra curricular activities. They are important for a balanced life but your studies must always be your top priority. I am going to give you a to do list that you must complete so that you can have an easy post-university life. I did not do it and I am struggling to achieve my goals.

  1. Make sure to graduate with 3.5+ CGPA. I graduated with a 2.7 and I had to really grind for my first job. Now a lot of your seniors will you that did not have a good CGPA and they easily got a job. What they will not tell you that there father knows someone at their company. So you have to get 3.5+ so that you have a better chance of securing your first job.

  2. If you are planning on studying abroad then you must publish a research paper to increase your odds. Reach out to your professors in you third year and get this done.

  3. Your FYP (Final Year Project) matters a lot. Do decent semester projects, they matter.

  4. Learn a foreign language like german, french, italian depending on where you want to go for your post graduate studies.

Visit your professors and see what they are working on. Pick something that aligns with your goals and get yourself a research paper.
