🚨 Pakistan A2s: We must stop CAIE from merging our P3/postponed exams with June retakes.

TL;DR: We suspect CAIE is planning to merge the postponed exams with the June P1/S1 retakes to save costs. Look at the attached image our university admission schedule for June and July is already packed. If they merge these exams, we will have zero time to study for either. We need to flood them with emails now before the timetable is finalized.

Look at the calendar I’ve attached. June and July are already a total nightmare with engineering entrance tests (NUST, UET, PIEAS, etc.) back-to-back. There is literally zero breathing room. How are we supposed to study for A-Levels and secure our university admissions when they’re likely going to clash?

They’re looking for the cheapest, easiest way out, and it’s going to be at our expense. We can't wait for them to drop an unfair schedule and then try to complain—once it's published, it’s game over. We need to make enough noise right now so they know this isn't an option.

Don't let them do this to us. Send this email to the British Council and the Cambridge help desk today:

Dear Cambridge/British Council Team,

I am an A2 student in Pakistan writing to express my severe concern regarding the upcoming rescheduled exam dates.

There is significant anxiety among students that these papers will be merged with the June P1/S1 retake window. As you can see from our university admission calendar, the month of June is already fully booked with critical entrance tests.

Merging these sessions would create an impossible academic burden. It is physically impossible to prepare for and sit A-Level examinations while simultaneously appearing for university entrance tests.

I strongly urge you to schedule these postponed exams in a separate, dedicated window. An overlapping schedule will destroy our academic performance and jeopardize our university admissions.

Thank you for prioritizing the academic fairness of the student body.

Sincerely,[Your Name]
[Your Candidate Number]

Hey everyone, I'm looking into the Mechatronics and Mechanical programs here and wanted to get some honest opinions.

Specifically, I'm curious about:

  • Job prospects: How are the career opportunities after graduating?
  • Labs: Are the facilities well-equipped?
  • Faculty: How are the professors?
  • Teaching style: Is the education actually skill-based and practical, or is it more focused on rote memorization (ratta)?

Plus, specifically to the Mechatronics people: is the degree worth it?

Thanks!
