Physics: Post your doubts here!

Niceeee
Wish I had taken add maths too

Yup really helpful in maths A1. You don't even need to practice for p1 if you had taken add maths in o-level.

 

[A*****]

What about you? O-level and A-level subjects?

In O level I took the normal 8...eng, urdu 2nd language, pak studies, islamiyat, maths, phy, chem and bio
Now they are maths, phy, chem and bio in A level

No one told me before

Damn, tough subjects in a-levels. A lot of theory there.

Yeah and I hate theory but still

Gonna go abroad most likely to the US. If not, then there's Australia and UAE(a few unis that give scholarships there too). There aren't any good quality engineering institutes in Pakistan. Like I know everyone says GIK and NUST are good, but the fact is that by international standard, they're weak(not well known either).

Your plans? I mean your subjects allow you to keep your options open. At this point you can enter any field you like.

Neither are engineers valued here...the field is saturated with few opportunities

First I'm gonna try for govt medical institutes here (though I HATE bio) and if I'm not lucky enough then I'll go for engineering or accounting fields

I partially agree with you. Nothing besides businessmen or politicians are valued in Pakistan. Doctors, engineers, lawyers, none of them are valued. Bare in mind, these are very common fields, so if I go into less popular fields like fundamental physics or any other specified field, they are not valued at all. But, the fields in Pakistan aren't saturated. In fact, there's an issue of lack of labour in Pakistan. Most of the qualified doctors or engineers go off to other countries because working conditions and wages are poor in Pakistan, hence people go abroad for a better standard of living. If you go to hospitals in Pakistan especially Lahore, the staff is under qualified, because these hospitals tend to employ people with fewer qualifications( as there very few good quality doctors) since they're cheap as well. Besides, Aga Khan in Karachi, standard of hospitals is way below par. As for engineers, Pakistani firms like Millat hire poor quality engineers(saving money duh), while multinationals hire high quality ones. Yet, these multinationals still need more of these high quality engineers. So overall the field isn't saturated if you have a good quality education.

Seems cool. Medical institutes here are good. But if you're gonna work, I would suggest you don't work in Pakistan(unless it's Aga Khan) because doctors are not valued here. I mean my cousin did her undergrad from King Edward MC and she's working at DHA National Hospital for like 50k a month(horrible starting salary).

The top positions are always vacant, welcoming the toppers but I was talking generally about the civil engineering etc. like they get poor wages and wander for jobs

50 k is horrible?.It was 20 k or less before.
And anyway,50 k are given to trainees doing their house jobs.50 k is what I would call pretty much okay.

Dude that's terrible. If I go abroad, I'd be getting at least 1500 USD a month which is like 150k PKR

Yeah it is horrible duh
Did she do A level or Fsc? Ppl are always scaring me that A level is of no use here and plenty of marks are cut blah blah...to what extent is thia true?
I will IA try my best to get any quality specialization from UK etc but only after doing MBBS from Pak

My brother got 4 A*s and they got admission in nust gik and kmc.
But yeah,4 A*s is a pretty much big thing to get in A levels

She did A-levels but still got in. The government purposely reduces value of A-level grades compared to Fsc grades for equivalence certificates so that students who want to get into government universities do FsC rather than A-levels(which is stupid since A-levels has more value than Fsc, fsc is all memorizing). I'm not sure what the rule about equivalence for A-level qualifications is now(could have changed), but that was the rule when my cousin did her undergrad.
