Dear colleagues,

My son received a letter of admission in BS Computer Science from FAST and they want to receive the payment of Rs.85000 by 28th July otherwise seat will be cancelled. He wants to do actually BS Elect. or Mech. Engr. and if not then BS(CS) We are waiting result from NUST, GIKI (waiting list, Aug.4), PIEAS (expected tom). So it is not sure whether he will qualify or not. So at the moment confirmation is only in FAST and must to pay by 28.
Can I ask you that is there any future of BS(CS) in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia so that should be joined. Thanks for your advice.

One in hand is better than two in bush. FAST BS (CS) has good future prospects.

If your son wants to do Elect or Mech Engr, then he should be joining those programs. In my opinion the decision should not be made based on job prospect solely. Personal interest in a particular field should be the decisive factor otherwise the result is a mediocre professional. Computer Science is very different from EE or ME, so that should be considered. Ofcourse, Computer science graduates around the world get very lucrative job offers.

Dear Zahid,

I would suggest you to pay fee and secure the seat in FAST, meanwhile if your son gets admission in GIKI /NUST in Electrical/Mech Engg. then cancel Fast and go for GIKI/NUST.
I guess on admission cancellation they will deduct some amount, but in case they do not return, even then It shall be OK. Do not take risk for career/future of your kids.
I have faced same issue during my studies time but my parents Lock seat for me ist and then waited for other options.

2ndly, Donot underestimate computer engineering, it has good scope all over, however Electrical and Mech. are always on Top.

first ask him what your son wants to do. then go for it. let him live his life.

@ Shahid! Let him live his life. This is pure western way of thinking and seriously flawed. What does a 17 years old kid know about the world ????

@ Zahid! Please do Istikhara and ask for Allah's help in this decision. InshaAllah, whatever you will do after that, will be the best course of action for your son.

Best of luck
