Maybe it was your third attempt, maybe it was your second or third gap year but guys this is what I can tell you guys that getting into some ivy university in pakistan doesn't mean your life will get instant better or you will start printing money immediately. No doubt IBA has one of the best resources to utilise and the opportunities are vast but trust me no degree from any university will make you instant rich. It all runs down to what your goals are and what you want in life and most importantly what you do with that degree.

As someone whos studying in iba, i can tell you that your skills and what you do outside your degree also matters. Yes the iba name can sometimes gives you a heads on with jobs but most of the time it all runs down to what else youve done outside your academic curriculum. Most importantly pray for your naseeb. I cant stress this enough. There are people jinn ko bohat mehnat ker k koi cheez milthi hai aur dusray wo log hothay hain jinnko Allah asaani se cheezein dedathay hain just because they've asked like Allah has given you the ability to ask Him anything and you are upset that you couldn't get in iba? World unfortunately doesn't ends when you couldn't get into iba. You have to press harder on the gas pedal and keep moving. Thats how life is warna koi aur ap se aagay nikal jayega. 10 years balqay 5 years from now no ones gonna even care if you graduated from iba or not. It all runs down to what you do with your degree and your skills to build the life you deserve. Life iss se agay bhi mushkil hogi tou kiya har cheez per bikhar jaogay? No. You have to stay stronger for yourself and during this time, please be your own bestfriend. You cant stop living your life just because you couldn't get into the university you desired or your friends are not with you anymore. You cant stop yourself from growing and growth sometimes can be isolating. Jis manzil per pohonchna wahan pohonch jaogay.

Hi Everyone!

Last year I was in the exact position as you guys and everyday felt suffocating. I remember returning back from the test day and one thing that went inside my head was "what was that maths section". I barely could get over the any of those questions. That time I applied to iobm too which my parents weren't agreeable on and i was being criticised by everyone. My college friends took seperate paths. No one was being supportive at all and it felt like I was on my own. I was done with my CAIES on June and had approximately 12 days to start proper preparation for the test since I didnt even had any A Levels maths. I only knew SAT level maths. Everyone and their dogs were saying that the test is hard. Without paying any fancy expensive fees of etc etc academy, it is difficult to get into iba. You need a 50k pkr course pack etc etc and I had nothing. Just online resources I would scrap and scrap

So when I returned back from the test day disheartened. I felt like my whole world had crashed down. All my college friends were distant. My parents were strict. There's nothing more disappointing than watching your loved ones having no hopes in you left. That time I turned to Allah only. I just cried my heart out. I was done with the whole Cambridge system with constant leaks and my disappointing grades in AS Level. Dunya really shows you why you shouldn't expect too much and no one...i repeat no one can fix your life.

"I worked hard didnt I?" "Why does it keep getting harder" "Why is everyone so distant"

I would make mistakes more often. Everyday felt the same. So I dont really recall my college days because I was sad and anxious.It was easier for me to cry than smile.

But one thing I was constant on that was asking from Allah. Agar sachay dil se maangogay dua tou kyu nhi qabool hogi? I had the conversation with Allah. About my fears. About my uncertainty and you can say I reached a flow state.

I prayed and I kept praying. Even when I returned back from the test disappointed. Even when my answers weren't matching. Even when no one believed in me. I prayed. And I got a direct admission on my program but then mg A Levels result was also pending so I kept praying and my A Levels requirement matched.

Moral of the story is that do not AND I REPEAT DO NOT LET ANYONE DISCOURAGE YOU K "TUM SE KESAY HOGA"

Alot of these people also told me that without some fancy expensive bcat coaching and packages you cant get into iba. But i did it without it. Because at the end of the day, its Allah who changes your naseeb not the people sitting online who have nothing but pessimistic to speak about. It is Allah who can open doors for you. There are also students who despite buying coaching packages couldn't get in.

So trust me when I say this. Clear your heart. And pray with all sincerity. If you want something and that wish is in your heart. Allah wants to accept it. He already knows what you want. So dont lose hope guys and more importantly avoid the people who are negatively talking etc. Trust me life will be alot better for you and your mental health if you started ignoring people more.

The events dont make sense sometimes. (I used to play Dalcom Soft Games). For free to play players it feels like the game automatically gives a message that you cant get onto the top in quick or even a moderate pace without opening your wallet. Its painfully slow. You grind hours for gems. In my case I grinded 4k gems. And got only three illit live theme cards. Then I grinded again. Currently stand at 4.4k. But im too nervous to spend on lsf special theme. The events are bland. The roulette one wasnt good since I kept getting 300 gold coins max a bronze card if im lucky. Even with top UR scored cards. I lose catch live. There's no creativity in the game I feel like. Mind you I started this game when it initially released. And stopped it because life. I got back this year on June. I got hooked in the beginning. But its painful how you have to play the games for weeks to hoard little resources. Not to mention if I wanted a live/special/fx card i cant obtain it from doing missions or whatsoever. And even if I do see a mission. I have to break a leg or an arm or use even more resources to get the resource I want. I dont know when does it get better

So back when i used to play superstar yg from dalcom soft. You had to have the cards with the same themes and you get this rave bonus. And I got three members out of the 5 for illit live theme. Will it be stupid to just upgrade them to UR or should I farm enough gems for when im actually actually prepared to get all the live themes when it drops in future

I spent 2k gems on illit live theme cause everyone kept saying thats the cards i should be aiming for in the first place not the album or fx theme ones. And got three cards of illit live theme(also out of three, one of them i got from trade event). I wanted illit and ended up with seventeen's live theme while opening the draws.The way this game is frustrating for free to play players. My only strong group is enhypen. (Album based cards). I had 75 miracle cubes. All of them went to waste because it wasnt upgrading for me and I didnt even knew that could happen so please

1. How do I get hive gems back (I grind 300 gems back)

2. Should I forgo the rest of the members in illit

3. Im a college student so if I have time. I grind. Or else I dont.

4. How many gems should I aim for now if I wanted a live theme

5. How do I get miracle cubes

my parent didnt know that they were going for June 15 test not the July one and paid the fees. Is there anyway I can transfer the fees to July one? The portal didn't tell nor did the date of which tesr
