NUST VS LUMS for CS

[Blaze09]

I wanted to know which one would be a better choice for Computer Science
LUMS or NUST H12?

On overall basis of scholarship, aid, faculty, facilities, campus life.

NUST has a good CS faculty, although not as good as its electrical and mechanical faculties. If you get into NUST (any faculty), you won't need any scholarship; the fees are quite low. And just so you know, the top 15% students (merit-wise) are given full scholarship in the first semester.

I don't know much about LUMS' Computer Science department, but considering LUMS' overall reputation, it should be fairly good.

You should also consider FAST-CS, if you are really thinking about majoring in Computer Science.

All the best!

Thank you Nibz for replying.

Yes I knew about the merit based fee waiver. Although the fees is quite low but still I might need aid too. Just saying.

Yes that's what other people said but the problem 21 batches have graduated in CS from NUST while LUMS' current batch would be 3rd or fourth I guess.

It's my last resort because many people told me that it's standard has fallen and it's giving way too much admissions. Even a few faculty members moved to LUMS.

Don't mention it.

Ace its entry test. You will get that waiver. Best solution.

Those faculty members might have moved to LUMS because of higher pay or something. You never know.

Yeah I know but that would only be for the 1st semester. I'm talking about aid throughout my undergrad
btw do we have to pay back this financial aid's amount to the uni later on?

Maybe but LUMS and NUST are my top priorities currently.

It's a scholarship, not financial aid. And if you maintain a gpa of >3.65, your scholarship (all of it or 75%) is extended to the next semester, and so on.

Yes I know that but I'm asking about financial aid only. Not a tuition waiver or 21k Rs less on tuition fee upon getting gpa of >3.65. If I get FA then it will just be on tuition or on the hostel charges too?

and btw I have 8As, 2Bs (3A*) in OL
3A* 1A in A1 internal exams
great transcript
and would be giving satII maths and physics in January
do you think I've got a good chance at both NUST and LUMS?

 

[grumpy]

you dont get the scholarships or financial aids easily.you need to work very hard for it apart from academics do something extraordinary if you need the scolarships badly.you may be needy and you might have very good transcripts but the students applying on scholarships have as good transcripts as yours mostly so you must be one step ahead.
