Dear brothers,

My son has been selected in FAST for BCS and Elect. Engineering and for Mechanical Engineer in University of Lahore. Now they ask to deposit the amount Rs. 85000 within one week. Still waiting for PIEAS and NUST. I returned from abroad and have not much knowledge about universities.

Can the concerned people advice which is better and has future in Pakistan and Middle East.
I heard FAST is good in computer sciences but do not know about EE. I think they have EE in Telecommunication and Electronic.
I need your feedback as soon as possible to guide me which one should select in order to decide.
Thanks for your cooperation and reply.
Regards

In my opinion,FAST is much much lower standard as compared to UET Lahore.

Please leave the FAST and NUST and go for UET Lahore & PIEAS.

Tell me when to submit dues for UET Lahore???

Fast is an excellent institute. UET and NUST are also good for computer sciences FAST is at the top.

Any field Engineering is the best as compared to computer science field.

Dear Mr. Info and Khan,

Thanks for your quick reply. Please note that last day for dues to FAST is 29th July. The test of UET is on 8th August and result may take some days, so not sure will be selected as its merit is very high. PIEAS result is coming on 26th July. Should I wait and see if he is selected in PIEAS for Mechanical or Electronic Engr then you recommend to join that one?. I want to send him in Saudia.
My question is that in case of FAST, which degree is better - BCS or Elect. Engr. (they may have EE in electronic and telecom.).
My son wants first Mech. Engr, then Electronic Engr., however, if if not then BCS or EE. Your further comments would be appreciated
Regards

Listen to the son what he wants to do himself. Doing a degree from UET will place him at a good position from where he can further launch his career flight I am ex-UETian and am currently working as a CEO of a nationwide company.

Dear Mr.shahid

I am Mechanical Engineer and working in Saudi Arabia Dammam frol last ixyear.

Avoid computer science and wait till 26th July.PIEAS is good option.

and prepare for the test of UET lahore.

Dear all,
Thanks for your advice. The UET test is on 8th August and if not paid in FAST the seat will be cancelled. Yes, I am waiting for PIEAS and NUST till 27th. (I heard that there are not many seats in PIEAS so chances or limited). If not till that time then I have no other option except to go for FAST. I read in the prospect of FAST that they offer also BSc. in Elec. Engr with major in Telecom. and Electronics. My son wants 1st Mech. Engr, if not then Elect. Engr. in Electronic. One brother from KSA said that Engineering is much better than Computer sciences, so in this case can I consider BSC. in Elect. Engr from FAST?.
Regards

I don't know why people are advising against computer science. I am a computer software engineer and working for a worldwide financial organization in Europe. In western world, people who landed very good jobs were mostly from computer science background. Its a career which requires continues learning but very rewarding.

Ali Khan Jeddah replied on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 03:27 PM

first priority should be UET than try in FAST & NUST. after UET both are reputed institute.

JOHAR (Saudi Arabia) replied on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 04:00 PM

Still you have chance for UET and NUST and both these institues are better than FAST and PIAC in terms of Engineering Studies, so better to wait.
Moreover after FAST test and marks in F.Sc.,your son can access better himself for decision making.

Wish you and your son good luck.

Warm Regards,

Since your son wants to be a mechanical engineer, please do not try to impose your opinion. He has got admission in mechanical engg.in the Univ. of Lahore. It is an accredited university although standard is no where near that of UET. You may try with UL for extension in date for payment of fee. If they agree & your son is later lucky enough to get admission in UET, well & good.Otherwise there in no harm in sacrificing 85000 rupees at this stage & later leaving UL. Please note that there are four campuses of UET Lahore & two of UET Taxila where mechanical engineering is offered. Admission in any one of these should be preferred over UL. If still unlucky, he has aleady got admission in UL. As an engineer educationist,my advice is to let him go for mechanical engineering if he wants this & do not impose your opinion forcibly.

Dear EE KSA,

Thanks for your advice. One friend suggest to get BCS from FAST to become Software Engineer as FAST is famous in computer sciences. But is it also ok if to get now Electrical Engineer from FAST. As its name has value for computer science then it should also be in the field of Electrical Engr.
Can you please tell me what is the job scop of software engineer in Saudi Arabia and average salary.
Can you please advice me shoud I go now for BCS or Elect. Engineering ( in telecom or electronic ) from FAST. As you said that Elect. Engr. is better than other programmes, so should I decide from FAST. Then no need to wait for PIEAS and NUST. Waiting your reply. Comments from other concerned persons also appreciated.
