Hi
NED is a hot topic internationally , being a national uni of pakistan but my question arises , is it good to opt NUST/FAST over it ? If so , what are the features that distinguishes it against NED? Please reply!

Usually Universities in public sector are considered to be lower in quality when it comes to Engineering. NED is one of these, I am not saying it's bad as I don't know much about it. However I have an idea about UET and can safely compare it with NUST/FAST. Since NED and UET are similar in nature, u can relate to it yourself.
  1. Infrastructure: Universities can be ranked upon this, since u need labs, equipment to get a better hands on experience if u are to become a good engineer. Since FAST/NUST invest much in these, u may have better chance of getting better experience.
  2. Faculty: Without a doubt a crucial factor. We learn from their experiences, their links in the industry, their knowledge. Although their degree won't make them a good teacher. Yet, their influence may come of advantage for u in the long run. NUST/FAST has better faculty since they pay more, it's simple as that.
  3. Links in Industry: If an institute has better links in industry, u might have a better chance of getting a good paying job. I'm not sure, but personally I think that FAST/NUST would have more weightage when it comes to this factor.
  4. Field: This matters a lot while deciding ur future. If u are to go in Computer Science field, the FAST it is. All other factors lose their priority. If ur up for mechanical then NUST it is. I guess EE is good in NED. So do some research on this, see which field is better in which institute and then decide.
This list can go on, overall if u ask me, then I would recommend u opt for NUST/FAST if u have these options available. They are not damn good institutes but still, better than NED in my opinion. Remember one thing, whichever institute u go in, it will come to u in the end to work hard and excel in ur field.
Best of luck for ur future :)

What would u say about GIKI? and LUMS SSE?
isnt GIKI's mechanical considered to be the best in Pakistan? :S

Yes, without a doubt GIKI's mechanical is the best in Pakistan at the moment. The question asked about comparing FAST/NUST with NED, so i didn't mention GIKI there :)
LUMS SSE? again, it depends on which discipline u want to opt. Their EE is good, faculty is very good, students there give u tough competition. So yes, I would rank EE from SSE above EE from FAST and NED.

how would u compare EE from SSE with EE from NUST. and ME from NUST with ME from GIKI

I would rate ME from GIKI above ME from NUST.
For EE, I'm not sure. Both institutes have some brilliant minds when it comes to both students and faculty. Both have cut-throat competition between students. Good infrastructure (maybe LUMS gets more points here, but then again, NUST takes points for fee)
To sum up, I would rate both of these equal.

A-Levels in 2010.
i have not made up my mind whether to chose mechanical engineering or software or CS . so does NUST give a chance to switch fields after a short while. how is the staf there?
PS I am in AS

It's very very difficult to switch fields in NUST. Staff here is not pleasant. So i would recommend don't rely on this option.
CS and Mech Engineering are two very different fields, u should make up ur mind which one are u interested in. Since ur in AS, u have got enough time to do a little research, find out what these fields have to offer and then chose whatever interests u more.

I understand that... yet u should try to study about these fields. As i mentioned, these two are very different fields...
I'm sure u'll discover which one u wanna go in!

i have computing and physics and chem with me so i will see which suites me :)

Well Jazib, i want to ask that is it recommended to opt chemistry for A levels? Honestly, i haven`t got true desire for chem neither i am interested in it.Well, i have my mind towards engineering and i am thinking to select Comp,phys and maths for my Alevels but majority says that it is wise to choose chemistry since it is required in vast range of engineering fields.... Please guide me

Physics, Chemistry and Maths will keep almost all your options open. And when I say almost, i mean every field of the world except medical.
Whereas if you decide to ditch Chemistry, you would be only limited to Computer Science fields... (Software engineering, IT, CS etc)
So, yes the majority is right. I would strongly recommend you take chemistry in A Levels. It's only two years of not-that-difficult chemistry. Just bear with it :)

Omg ! i thought that i got rid of chem! o_O btw if would have to in computer science field , are these three subs ok for that??
