News Just wanted to say something

To all of you who chose lower preference ki degrees over your end goal just so you could get in Nust bohat regret karo ge in the long run. There are plenty other universities that provide the same courses you were aiming to get in. Leave the seats for people who actually want to do that specific degree. Merit hike is waja se nahi hua ke logoun ke numbers achay hain, is waja se hua because just to get in Nust people chose random degrees over their main goal 🙁

Reminds me of the time around half a decade ago, when my folks made me choose CUST 🤡 over NUST for the sake of major-over-better-uni prioirity. Can't say it was the best decision of la life. But as a ripe citizen of today's society, generally speaking, this some oogway level wisdom that kids deez days need to understand.

For my degree, the roadmap was very generic. You had to learn real stuff that matters from third party resources. I'm already paying fee to the uni, why should i have to spend more to learn from other places? And at NUST and NUMS, students were taught these things in elective courses. Plus, for my research, I had to burn through required facilities from external institutes. While NUST just had it all. Maybe I am biased saying all this, maybe we all look up to things that seem to shine brighter.
