I drove myself crazy searching for info, this is what i concluded
GIKI has better faculty, better labs and better Learning (though Nust is just as good, so many campuses so it varies)
GIKI societies are very active
Nust is cheaper
Nust has a name. (imho, giki would have been ahead, if it had more campuses, it is just one campus, so fewer gikians).
GIKI is fair to A levels students, i honestly started hating nust, because even a year's worth of effort, 5 entry tests and a score of 145, still not enough....i just feel like i deserve better
All gikians i met claim, giki graduates mostly go abroad.
Grooming of giki is better
I talked to people working in many companies..they say UET (most often), then NUST and then GIKI (they say...yeh bhi chalta hai...as if last preference)..
the conclusion i drew, GIKI is the LUMS of engineering.
Employers are afraid that employee might not work with them long enough or will have nakhray.....therefore they get the ones that are less touchy....annual 6 lac spending k baad banda touchy toh hoga
what i want, good teachers, excellent grooming , actual learning, leadership skills. I do not want to be lakeer ka faqeer
