Hey I was a topper in my college. I got 93% in 12th and 95% in 11th. I barely got admission in private MBBS and BDS & my parents even wanted me to get in but I never wanted to become a doctor so mama nearly forced me to start CA. I cleared the first level.. prerequisite courses in one attempt. But now I've decided to get an admission into Bachelors in AI from Nust or Giki. I'm even trying for LUMs but I'd have to get a scholarship there since it's too expensive. I'm thinking of continuing CA online alongside the degree. I'll delay articleship and do it with masters but that's how I've planned it. Rn I'm at home since classes for CA will begin in September and my prep for entry tests as well because institutions are busy in previous batches as of now. Mama keeps taunting me that I can't do anything in life. I'm nearly falling into a pit. I sleep all day and don't eat or do anything. I don't even come out of the room but it's because of the same discussions and this crap. I'm way more ambitious than anybody near me but I need a proper environment. CA wasn't giving me that.. college was smaller than my school and people kept quitting in such an early stage so it's scary af for me. Ik I can do it but I also want that university life that my friends enjoy and I want a good job later on too.

Guys, i am planning to apply to Umt for fall 2026, and my interest lies in chemistry, don’t yet know where specifically.

I need seniors, alumnis, current students and education experts to guide me how is the chemistry program at umt. They also have chemical with specialistion in ai.

How is the course curriculum, how is the faculty, research and internship opportunities, and how good is the job placement for a umt degree in Pakistan. Also tell about international recognition and postgrad placement.

Like i need an in depth review of the department, so i can decide if it’s worth joining or should i just wait for Comsats spring admissions and in the meantime focus on my us visa application.

TIA!

I’m currently deciding between Computer Science or Chemistry/chemistry related program for my undergraduate degree, and I’m looking for universities that are genuinely good in either/both fields, especially in terms of faculty, research, internships, job prospects, and overall student experience. Right now I have \*
Quaid-i-Azam University Bahria University, UMT, and NIT on my list because their applications are currently open, and I need to apply this fall. If you know of any other good universities whose applications are still open, I’d really appreciate the suggestions. Otherwise, I’d love to hear your opinions on these options, especially from current students or alumni.

​

I'll be applying to Undergrad scholarships, my grades are good , but I want to know what are the ways to make ones profile strong for study abroad.

Please suggest me some ways , especially if any student studying abroad.

OR

(Let me rephrase the question)

To students studying abroad(or anyone), if you have chance to start again , what would you have done apart from good grades to increase your odd or make you even better version.

My younger brother recently passed Matric, and honestly, my parents and I are really worried about what he should do with his future.

We come from a lower-middle-class family in Pakistan. My father has spent his entire life working for other people, and financially, we really cannot afford to make expensive mistakes.

I'm 23 myself, and I don't have a degree. The main reason is that I simply didn't have anyone around me who could properly guide me about education, careers, skills, or what options were actually available. I had to figure out a lot of things on my own, and I really don't want my brother to end up in the same situation.

What worries me is the usual path people suggest in Pakistan:

Matric Intermediate struggle to find a job expensive Bachelor's degree graduate eventually earn around 40-50k.

I'm not saying a degree is useless. I just don't want him to blindly spend years and a huge amount of money on a degree without having a proper plan for what comes after it. But I also don't want to make the opposite mistake and push him toward some random "high-income skill" just because someone on the internet said it makes $5,000 a month.

So I'm hoping to hear from people who have actually gone through this themselves.

I'm not looking for a shortcut or overnight success. I just want to make sure my brother has a realistic path toward becoming financially independent instead of blindly following the same cycle.

Any honest advice, especially from people who started with limited financial resources, would mean a lot.

Hi everyone!

Hope you all are doing great

I want advice for what and how should I study. I would request you to please read the complete post as it will help you understand me better, but adding a TLDR anyways

TLDR: Screwed my intermediate, got 67% marks and not applied to any university. Completed ADP-CS(equivalent of bs 4 semesters/Bsc) a 2-year degree from UMT. want to take admission furthur into bs 5th semester and complete my bs as I want to get into MS Mechatronics(I love Mechatronics) but can see any way to get admission into any reliable institute

Alright, So back in the day it was around 3 years back I being a stupid person did'nt applied for any university and wanted to take a GAP YEAR. My family forced me into getting admission and I chose ADP because I would not have to spend FULL FOUR YEARS in that sh*t institute. I always loved tinkering around computers mainly it's hardware and I'm a DIY hobbyist as well, so I wanted to get into something related to technology from Hardware's perspective and I don't like coding and thought I should get into CS instead of SE so that it will be all rounded covering both Hardware and software but ohh man I was WRONG and I should have research that 😢😭.

I spent my worst 2 years in UMT and I still hate it. The faculty, staff and every thing I hated those 2 years and I still thank that I did'nt had to spend full 4 years there.

I completed my adp in 2025 and started a working and it was very hard to get it because of my degree as I was holding 14 years of education. Alhamdullilah, Now I am working remotely (not in tech BTW) but I still want to complete my 16 years of education as I want to shift my field of work towards robots, drones, EVs, and all kind of modern technology automating simple physical and repetitive work and Mechatronics is the perfect degree for that.

Now i'm stuck and have following questions and need ADVICE on what should I do next:

1. Complete BS CS by taking admission into any private university like UOL, Superior, UCP or UMT(I hate UMT but whatever it takes to furthur study)
2. Virtual university offers direct entry into 5th semester and I am inclined towards it as I am working rn but will there degree be valid as I want to do MS in Mechatronics/Robotics either from LUMS/NUST or GERMANY,CHINA or Scandinavian Nations.
3. Should I just leave it as is and start over by getting admission into NUST's bs mechatronics (next year as the dates for nust has been passed)

Please ignore any of Grammatical error I made in the Post. Thanks for reading till the end and please UPVOTE this so more people will be able to answer my question.

I urgently need 140k for rent, utility bills and mother's medical bills, i have a running drinking water supply business but the residential society i deliver in suddenly required a vehicle fitness certificate without that they are not letting us work. It will take atleast 20 to 25 days for certificate, till that i cant collect my monthly bill payments from customers. I can repay the full amount on next month's 20th, just need it for one month. I cant ask any friend or family as everyone is same as me or lower middleclass and hand to mouth or even below this par. I can give my cheque as a gurantee and one can verify my situation as well, I'll be forever grateful if anyone can help.

comment whatever you know about mechatronics your views and openions subjective or objective in pakistan and abroad. please comment what you are sure of not what you have just heard.

Please someone guide about the roadmap and routine from zero for NUST NET for 3 months time along with reference books and material

I’m currently an A Level student in A2, and lately I’ve been questioning something I always assumed was a given: Do I actually want to go to university?

I’ve always been drawn towards social sciences, especially sociology. I genuinely love learning about society, people, social issues, and the way the world works.

But when I think about spending the next four years getting a degree, I keep asking myself: Is this really the best use of those four years for me?

I’m not someone who is naturally obsessed with academics or getting the highest grades possible. I love gaining knowledge when I’m genuinely interested in something, but I don’t see myself spending four years mainly focused on exams, assignments and a GPA.

At the same time, I know exactly what I’m passionate about.

I love speaking. I’ve participated in a lot of MUNs, and public speaking is something I genuinely enjoy and feel confident about.

That’s why I want to explore content creation.

I want to use my voice and my interest in sociology and social sciences to create content around social issues, ideas, opinions, and things happening around us. I want to research, learn, speak in front of a camera and build something of my own.

And I don’t want to stop there.

Alongside content creation, I want to spend these years developing skills that are becoming increasingly valuable — things like AI, video editing, digital media, communication, research and other

My thought process is simple:

Instead of spending four years getting a degree which has no value and then struggling to find a job and do 9 to 5, what if I spend those same four years building skills, creating content, gaining knowledge, and actually working towards something I’m passionate about?

But I also know there’s another side.

University gives you structure, a qualification, exposure, connections and a safety net. There’s also no guarantee that content creation will work out. Choosing a non traditional path comes with a lot of uncertainty.

And honestly, that scares me.

What scares me even more is the possibility of choosing university because everyone tells me I should, spending four years there, and eventually looking back and thinking:

“What if I had just taken the risk?”

I know people will say, “You can do all of this while going to university.”

And maybe you can.

But I know myself. University would probably take a huge amount of my time and energy, and I’m worried that I’d end up prioritising my degree and GPA while putting my actual passion on the side.

I also know there is a lot of pressure around having a degree and following the traditional path.

But honestly, “What will society think?” isn’t a convincing enough reason for me.

I don’t want to make a four-year decision just to make other people comfortable.

At the same time, I don’t want to romanticise the idea of “following your dreams” and ignore the risks.

So this is where I’m genuinely confused.

If you were in my position, what would you do?

Would you go to university

Would you take the risk and dedicate those years to building something independently?

Or is there a middle ground I’m not seeing?

I genuinely want to hear both sides

can anyone please tell me about Pak turk college!!! i wanna do ics with physics and pak turk is literally near my house. idk what to do.

aoa! i need advice from students already currently studying in china

im currently in second year (12), CS, from sindh board, which already lowers my chance of getting accepted expedientially lol but i still want to be hopeful

my situation is really dire. i need to get out of pakistan as soon as i possibly can through a scholarship, id accept any university if it means ill be in china, im really desperate!

My matric results were really not the best. my first year results are gonna be out soon (tho expecting around 80%), and now im starting classes for 12th currently.

im not the best at studying but im willing to do anything and try my hardest to make sure i reach the requirements for enrollment in a chinese university (ideally a funded scholarship) but ive been told im being unrealistic, especially bc i have a huge sindh board thappa behind me :(

is there a possibility i can get accepted in a mid-low ranking Chinese university with a funded scholarship with sindh board? and what kind of certificates do i need to collect to better my chance of acceptance? or does me being a sindh board student already ruin my chances of getting accepted?

thank you in advance!
