UET vs LUMS vs others

[rockerguy]

I wonder how on earth people say UET sucks, lacks environment, lifeless and all... OP trust me.. UET is still the most demanded institue.. Im a UET graduate... and Mechanical Engineer Alhamdulilah... I have yet to find a classmate of mine who isnt very well settled.... Remebe rone thing... Job is a matter of luck and the degree of effort you give to your degree and urself in grooming... Just because ur from GIKI or NUst or lums doesnt mean u will get a good or ideal job.. .I also have a fertilizer background and trust me... we always had engineers from UETs, GIKI, Nust, Punjab Univeristy, NED etc.... UET lahore i belive is yet the best option you can go for... I have switched my job twice and its my third Company where im workign right now... and trust me... every time i found the top management/ Deparment Managers to be having one or other association with any of UET.. and thats the reason they are naturally more inclined towards graduate of UET... UET lahore invited about 15 companies to university to hire their fresh engineers... GIKI and LUMS/ Nust are also good names... but to my opinion, they should always stand second to UET.... Lastly, whats more importtant is which department you get admission in university... its best to decide when you have options... I mean lets say u get selection in Mechanical from Nust, Petroleum from UET and Metallury from GIKI... This is where you have to decide.. and yes its not that UET means its master in all department nor does any other institute... I would suggest you to apply for all and then decide when you get options... decision shall be made on the repute, faculty, labs etc of that department in the respective institute...Hope it helps...

Being. '00 NUST graduate.. I would suggest get into NUST or GIKI.. I got the job with a swiss firm before even my final semester.. Being Lucky got job from same firm in middle east.. Then posted to Europe and with in 6 years I got employer offer in NY. Settled here now and my good luck my employe helped me getting my green card as well. Institution plus your hard work for sure have a big impact.. Good luck and PM for any direct help always..

woah i never expected such a good response, thanks guys.

what i understood is that the university you get into is more a matter of luck rather than choice. this means i will be applying to all the good local universities.

now how do i prepare for the entrance tests? please tell me the preparation technique for GIKI, UET,NUST and lums

plus is it worth it that i repeat my 2 o levels subjects (the ones in which i got b). i have 3 subjects in A levels, i see many people taking extra subjects, is there any disadvantage to me for staying limited to the three compulsory subjects. (i took only three so that i could get the best result possible where it matters the most).

[margallar]

Quoting some statistics:
All the top graduates of 2012 EE LUMS batch belonged to FSc from GC. Although the one on the very top was an A'levels student from beaconhouse with a CGPA of 4.0 in EE!!!

please enlighten me regarding this..

[Ravager]

there is no disadvantage of taking only three subjects. its better to have 3 with better result than 5 with no result.
students do that to increase the scope of their field. like they will pick biology and computers with maths physics and chemistry.
by doing this they can go into medical field and computer sciences aswel. its all a matter of preference. some people like to be focused on one thing. others want more options

and lums is only famous for their BBA and MBA. i think engineering just started there 4 or 5 years ago

... well extra subjects can be taken if you think you can... as said earlier ..... they increase scope further for you..... i only have 3 in A levels right now..... and your thinking is good to get the best results possible if you think you can manage more subjects... then you can take other than the 3 ones

put UET on last option i done BCS from uet peshawar and u being a car guy will have most boring time of ur life i don't know about uet lahre but NUST LUMS GIKI are best UET should be ur last choice

[digitalmohsin]

@digitalmohsin, when did u graduate from lums? and which faculty?
I graduated from LUMS SSE in june 2012. I am among the very first batch of EE @ SSE LUMS.

i did econ an pol and graduated in june 2012.

[digitalmohsin]

although i am 100% sure if you are from yo background then UET people will kill you by calling you burger bacha. you will never find em upto your level. they all have great minds but most of them absolutely have no manners. you will degroom over there. Having said this UET test is very competitive only best get through. i took UET test in 2007 and scored 131/400, an absolutely miserable score, and never got admitted in UET.

[NaXuN]

GIKI all the way if yoh are looking for studies nd fun along side by side...UET nd Nust if all you want is study nd study...LUMS if you have too much money to waste for the name sake

please enlighten me regarding this..

yar its simple, graduating from tough school is matter of your memory and time management. if you have a killer memory then you will grasp concepts in no time but if you are a kind of person who needs practice to grab a concept then you will be crushed by others.

well poster bro to start with it first of all the most important thing that you have to keep in mind is MAN PROPOSES GOD DISPOSES,i was a die hard fan of Pak army from very childhood iam a two time issb recemonder and i was not selected due a misunderstanding of me being flatfoot.coming to the topic i dont know why peolpe here think uet sucks.uet is an excellent place to study you might have less fun as compared to LUMS or GIK,and why are u restricting yourself to FFC.I know its very good but bro what my dad says when i say "engineering kay bad yahan job karounga" "aim for the moon son" aim for something high.try if you can get admission in nust college of eme is an excellent place if not there uet is more than good.a v good reputed institution indeed. degree is very well recognised people know about it very well and i read someone saying uetians get 25k pay. Bhai apko koi chouna laga chuka ha all my friends who got graduated from uet got jobs offering them atleast 40k within 6months of graduation.startinh from NHA,Heavy mechanical industries,Atomic energy comission,and just dont mention those who are abroad.

[MBILALNAWAZ]

And yup bro onething more i dont know someone mentioned it or not one of my friend who had his EE degree from not a very famous institution he is at a very good post i would say superb rather he said two things num1 your degree helps you for the job but your luck is an extremely important factor,num2 its not from where u graduated or how much gpa u have,its how much innovative,practical and expert you are in your field.these are all my observation and research everyone here has a 101% right to disagree with me.

Even i'm not burger but not maila its sort of a normal banda but still they never understood a word i said because many of students are from villages or small cities plus they have this Gown wala mentality to put u in trouble and they like to do showoff on things u would rather throw away i mean i tried to have a good time with them but u can't be one of them they are bored they never seen a girl to samajh jaoo
plus i used to be very well fashoin councious banda but while in uet i used to walk up to classes in my sleeping shilwar qameez and slippers yes yeh asar hwa hai

digital mohsin bahi

my cousin is graduated from UET lahore. he is in Schlumberger getting 8 lac per month(MashALLAH) and u r saying uet students start from Rs. 25000.
ITS ALL LUCK.

Is ur cousin named Nabeel?

[ahmadbila]

correct.... well that depends on what style people like ..... 40 km? its now less ..... due to safety things ... and the large scalee industries mostly are always out of the cities........ due to many reasons eg land,pollutions,etc ...... other industries are also in remote areas like Engro fertilizer,Fatima fertilizer etc...

and what do you say about universities? opinions needed

oh yes, its 30 or may be even 20km/h now... the rules are very very strict in there and i felt like being in europe when i felt the behaviour of other drivers on road

yes, large industries certainly are out of the cities mostly but if FFC wud be 20-30kms away frm lahore or isb or some other bigger city, i personally wont mind working there. like Pakistan tobacco company in jehlum. jehlum is a decent city in itself n is also near other cities. but theres hardly anything outside FFC. infact i ve heard it isnt even safe at night, the main road going into sindh.

okay, coming to the point. about universities. i ll keep it brief. i believe "jis hotel ki mutton karahi mashoor ho wahan pay tikkay khaanay na jao. tikkay wahan khanay jao jahan k tikkay mashoor hain" get the point? i wud definately definately prefer LUMS over any other institute if i had to study business. but for engineering, i believe NUST is the place! i know life at nust kinda sucks but im not gonna talk about that. while its true that the grooming u get at lums is second to none, theres not much u ll have to apply of that into engineering. u know 2x2 always equals 4 weather u're in a village or las vegas
but yes, if u;re into business studies, grooming matters a lot. u have to meet ppl. u have to attend meetings, convince ppl, interact with them n give presentations. thats where u ll use the polished personality of urs...

[ahmadbila]

n i believe most in the MARKET VALUE of a certain university's degree then its rating. even 3rd class universities (no offence meant to anyone, please) like riffah and preston n Uni of south asia etc stand good in ranking but their market value is not even close to even the medium level unis like bahria or lse.
i believe... best market value for...

business studies... lums, lse, bahria
engg... nust, fast, comsats.

getting adm in universities like lse, bahria, fast n comsats is almost a piece of cake. or it used to be, back in 2009 when i qualified entry tests of 3 of these. the tests for engg in fast n comsats are a bit tougher though. if one doesnt do gud in the entry tests n does not gets on 1st or 2nd list, he/she shud seriously consider some ad hoc action to enhance their skills, mental level, grooming etc etc. i wud prefer waiting for 6 months n applying again then to getting into any 3rd class universities...

[rockerguy]

i wish there had been just a single graduate of UET lahore/taxila here in this thread who could say that his four year education with UET sucked and gave him hard times... trust me.. you will never find such a person..

[rockerguy]

people are against UET because it has merit... Scoring a good score in uet entry test doesnt qualify you to be selected, but it takes a real need of excessive hard work that you put into your studies during F.Sc/ A-Levels... You have to perform pretty decently in both F.Sc/A-Levels and the entry test... No offense to any other institute, but UET has the name and repute above all, particularly in engineering sector.... Just give it a try.. Go to the most renowned organization of Pakistan (industrial Sector) in complexes of Fertilizers and Oil & Gas, for instance, be it Fauji Fertilizer, Engro Fertilizer, Dawood Hercules, Pakarab Fertilizers, Fatima Fertilizers, Fauji Bin Qasim or even OMV, MOL, BHP Billiton, POL, OGDCL, PPL, ARL and find how many graduates of UET you find in the management sector and also in the top management... You can then evaluate urself... Remember, when its industrial sector, UET takes the lead... If its FMCG like Unilever, P&G, Coca Cola, Tetra PAck etc,, then u need to be managerial than technical.. here other institutes also play a good role like LUMS, IBA, LSC, NUST etc.

Its not about the uni, its about your passion that makes you complete a four year degree. I wanted to become a Mechanical Engineer and thats what mattered to me. Now after ten years in the field, I am so proud that I made the right choice. So choose what you would like to do and dont compromise on your dreams, make them happen even if you have to wait.
