If u are in Pakistan then opt for Inter and especially if u are doing medical.. For medical, most of the student prefer AKU, DMC and KMDC universities in Karachi and competiotion for A levels student is extraordinarily tough as well as grade threshold.. U need to get almost straight A star plus study Matric board as well for entrance test... :whistle:

Living in Karachi cool :cool:... Yes it need inter background.. Plus if u are applying for i.e. NED than only 10 seats are available out of 100 for Alevels.. Plus Inter nd Fsc ka course hr jagh parhna hoga... Magr unlike Medical there are many universities for engineering :).. So beta make your decision wisely..:p

Hi,
I'd advice you to go for A levels and opt for 4 subjects like you planned to do so. By doing this, you'd have another 2 years to make a decision without restraining yourself of options. That's the greatest advantage of A levels that inter/Fsc won't give you. I've seen many of my friends in A2 regretting their decision for option for a current course and now they can't even switch back. Also, if you do good in A levels, you can get admission into universities like AKU and they even have loans or complusions for deserving students. Also, your qualification would be internationally recognized. It's not like inter/Fsc isn't, but the value of A levels abroad is way more than inter or FSc.

I know A levels is valued abroad but the point is I cant leave my place no matter what the circumstances are. And yes I wanted to go for A levels but what if I dont get admission on merit coz that is my aim. Anyone can go for self that is not what I want. And I wont have years to make decision as if I go for A levels I know I have less chance to get a seat on merit.

I know there are many unis of engineering but they wont be NED and they dont have that reputaion neither are they on merit basis. For me merit is my priority, not getting into any uni.

Liked your priorities (y) .... Ok this will help u a bit... Do A levels only if u get 80%-100% scholarship else choose inter.. This will be determined by your grades so good luck... A levels is expensive, no future in Pakistan, difficult obviously and for girls engineering is 'extra' difficult.. NED is the best choice if in Karachi but U can also try for NUST like I will do.. Inshallah :)

I dont categorise myself in those girls who claim that engineering is extra difficult... Nd I would love to enter in NUST but only two departments are in Karachi in which I am not interested. I like chemical, petroleum, metallurgy, CIS, software engineering.. As for medical I will go for M.B.B.S or BDS. Nowhere else

Statistics about girls can go wrong :p .... Tell u what, for software engineering apply fo FAST... U have to make sacrifices but apply for NUST Islamabad... These are the universities most recognised but the competition will be tough..

I would disagree to that. In case if AKU or NUST is concerned, they have their own entry test which you have to clear regardless of the fact that you are from Inter/FSc or A levels. If you can't maintain a high percentage in Intermediate/FSc, your chances of getting into a good and reputable institution would still be very low.
Also, there are many universities that would take you in on merit basis. And as far as NED or DOW are concerned, people with A level backgroud do get in there as well so it's not practically impossible.
Anyways, final decision is yours to take. If you can make choice between engineering or medicine, then I'd suggest you go for Inter/FSc.
