u/Ambitious-Cobbler453

I will be joining university in 2 months, i chose to do BS in Computer Science and later MS in Cyber Security however i don't want to waste these university years. I need to start my career in Cyber Security. I have researched and thought of starting as a SOC Analyst. I have learnt python (idk how much depth i have to learn it so if you can guide on this too). I need guidance on what to do, how to do. I know certificates are imp but i can get them later. Also guide me where from where i learn it too.

I'm getting 71.8 Aggregate. Will I make it in BSCS Karachi? Merit was 68 in the last 2 years

I just finished my A levels and am currently giving entry tests, but tbvh, things aren't going smoothly. I'm dealing with random breakdowns, other personal problems, and a total lack of focus. Maybe I'm just completely exhausted and tired of everything. Is anyone else going through this or has anyone dealt with it before? How did you get out of it?

I would be joining fast this year, any help how can i achieve maximum GPA. First semester is tough especially PF as claimed by many people. Do anyone have resources from where i can prepare these things beforehand. Also what about assignments quizzes. How do they work? How is total GPA of whole semester calculated and also how can i achieve maximum marks in these. jazakAllah

Hey everyone, you guys have a lot more experience than me, so I wanted to ask for some advice. I know many people warn against going to FAST if your goal is to do a Master's abroad, but isn't a 3.2 GPA usually the minimum requirement for international admissions? If someone can manage to maintain that GPA at FAST, shouldn't they be able to go abroad for further study?

I would love to hear from any seniors or graduates who are considering, have applied to, or have already gotten into an MS program abroad. I'm about to start my BS in Computer Science and my ultimate goal is to do a Masters in Cyber Security overseas, so I would really appreciate any guidance or realistic perspective you can share! Would love guidance on scholarships too. Thank you.

If you have not joined yet, consider yourself fortunate. If you have already enrolled, you will need to prepare yourself. As a recent alumnus, this is an honest review of how significantly the institution has declined over the past two years, largely due to poor management, faculty turnovers, and highly contradictory policies.

The quality of education is facing a major downturn because the college most reputable faculty members are departing. Renowned teachers such as Zafar Ali Khan and Waseem Taj left last year, and faculty stability remains highly uncertain moving forward. While some dedicated teachers remain, the standard is completely inconsistent across different sections. To make matters worse, the administration strictly prohibits students from switching teachers if they are assigned an ineffective instructor, leaving many to suffer academically. The scheduling system itself is poorly managed, leaving students with massive, unproductive gaps between their classes that the administration refuses to rectify.

Extracurricular activities and campus life, which used to be major selling points for the college, have deteriorated significantly. The college's flagship event, Epsilon, has seen a massive decline in quality and organization over the last two years, losing the prestigious reputation it once held. Instead of fostering an engaging environment, the administration now focuses on enforcing highly illogical and hypocritical regulations. For instance, students are strictly banned from singing on campus, yet they are permitted to bring portable speakers to play music. Standard disciplinary enforcement is deeply flawed, students resting or sitting together are often falsely penalized for PDA, while actual rule-breakers frequently go unpunished. The administration has even begun enforcing extreme restrictions on senior celebrations, such as banning snow spray under the threat of immediate suspension. Funny if you believed everything they said in the orientation, that is a script they are reading since the start of college.

The administrative support is highly deficient, particularly within the university counseling department, which provides little to no valuable guidance for student futures. The management routinely schedules major events on inappropriate dates, creating an overwhelming and poorly-timed workload right before critical examinations. When academic performance inevitably suffers due to this poor scheduling and systemic pressure, the management refuses to take any accountability and instead shifts the blame entirely onto the students.

Furthermore, when it comes to securing positions in student societies and selecting leadership, the process relies heavily on favoritism rather than merit. Achieving a leadership role requires building connections, as genuine capability, hard work, and qualifications are secondary. Without these inside connections, qualified and deserving candidates are consistently overlooked, ensuring that leadership opportunities remain restricted to a select circle of favorite.

The sole benefit of the institution is for those who wish to focus strictly on academics, as the college maintains a rigorous routine of mandatory monthly tests and serious classroom instruction. However, this academic rigor comes at a heavy cost to student wellbeing. The environment involves an immense, hellish amount of pressure, where even a minor failure or a slight dip in grades can result in disproportionately severe consequences from the administration. Ultimately, Alpha College remains an option only if your sole objective is a rigid academic routine and you are willing to tolerate poor administrative support, bad management, and the lack of a balanced campus life.

Goodluck tho
