I don't understand why are u guys confused b/w seecs and smme? Don't u have any interest of ur own? These two are totally different schools to compare.
Trust me, u have to go with ur interest. Other small things like location and kiski library achi hai comes after that.
like maths, physics? Don't mind to get ur hands dirty with machines etc? don't mind some physical work? SMME is ur place.
and i don't think i have to explain seecs.
P.S: I'll take that "Software people are who make seecs good" compliment :)

Because both disciplines look good. As in courses interesting lag rhay hain. I dont mind field work either. You see at this level, you can never be sure what you're really getting into. :/

Yes that's the problem :/. Can anyone tell me which is better?Software or mechanical engineering?I like mechanical more, but I think the job opportunities/environment is better for software.And I'm lazy and dont much like fieldwork.So can anyone please advise me on this asap?

No doubt environment and job opportunities are much much better in Software. I'll still say make sure what interests u more!
Can u spend considerable amount of hours in front of a PC? Are u good in logical/mathematical problem solving? Are u creative enough? Above all, are u willing to sacrifice ur nights and spend them writing hundreds of lines of code?
If some or all answers to above questions is yes, then sure do come to software. It's a very good field which will lead u to many good opportunities! :)

Jazib How's Computer Science?

Computer Science is good too. SEECS has a very decent Faculty in the both Computing and Electrical Departments.
They've recently started it. Now we'll have to wait and see how does it compete with FAST CS when their first batch is out.

LOL! I was wishing this question doesn't come, been involved in a lot of debate on this one lately. :p
Anyways, They're not same, but yes, similar u can say. CS basically involves core development, Most of the time CS graduates will find themselves indulged in some heavy coding.​
Software engineering is one level above, which includes Software Design, Quality Testing, Project Management etc.
To make it simple: Software engineers will get to tell CS developers what to do, in other words CS graduates will be working under u... That is conventional picture for these two fields, sometimes it so happens that u'll find CS graduates at higher posts than SE's. That's because they may be extraordinary talented!
About fast vs nust, i can't say anything with full confidence here cuz Nust started it recently! We can only quantify credibility of a uni when it's batch goes out in the industry. Fast(lhr) is "tested and proved" to be very very good (in CS). don't know yet how will nust graduates compare with fast when they're out.​
