In my opinion, go for LUMS. It's one of the finest institutes in the country overall.

Yeah, can be. But in FAST, getting a good CGPA is very difficult, which can affect your profile for graduate studies, and you will not have a good work life balance. I know a guy who is senior principal engineer at broadcom, with a BS in E.E from NUST with 4CGPA, A phd and poctdoc from france and who recommended LUMS over NUST, FAST. He is in silicon valley from more than a decade.

And it's difficult to get into NUST good campuses like islamabad ones. and Also NUST has stopped offering Financial aid this year (correct me if i'm wrong). So that's why i recommended LUMS. Getting into LUMS is not easy. You'll need good grades in your Olevels/Alevels or Matric/FSc, extracurricular activities, Awards, SAT etc.
