Really need help in choosing Fsc or A levels... :I

[nidz]

So I am currently going to give my O levels in june 2013, and obviously I have to choose if I am going to apply for A levels or inter this year.

Since I am good in maths (and addmaths too ), I want to chose engineering (architectural or bio-medical) as my career. And to get into NED(I live in karachi), the best option is to do inter. But I see my sis who is also doing it, and realize how weird and difficult it is. :/
But then again, choosing A levels would mean , that I might not get into NED, and have to do engineering privately, which is not possible.

And there is also the problem of giving the entry test. However, Ned website says that if you give SATs and manage to get good marks, you don't have to give the entry test. SO wouldnt it be better if I give A levels, and SATs instead of facing inter ?? Or would it be difficult for me to adjust in NED even if I did manage to get admission in it?

My advice is to do A level as it far superior than Inter.
Secondly, most students who have a O/A level background struggle to settle in local universities as the most universities curriculum is based on rote learning. So most probably you will not be able to adjust in NED. The perfect scenario for you will be to study abroad after A level if you can. The standard of any good foreign university is much better than the local universities.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them.

Yeah, but what if I do inter, and get adjusted to the environment of NED. Cuz it is not possible for me to study abroad. :/ and doing this might be the only option I guess

Is NED a government institute?

If yes, it would need equivalences SSC AND HSSC

SSC consits of 800 marks from Olevels
HSSC consists of 1100 marks. 800 from OLEVEL,,,, and only 300 from alevel

A* get 90 marks
A gets 85
B 75
C 65

So, Olevel grades become really really important

I do not know the division of SSC, HSSC and ECAT etc like 10%, 40%, 50% etc to the final score

Go search on NED website

I can tell of medical in punjab, but all govt institutions need equivalences

Stick with Alevels and let me know ur olevel grades if u want to find ur equivalence. Or u can calculate it urself

This is for Lahore and for medical :/

read the SSC and HSSC equivalence thing

for ssc they count for ENGINEERING
phy
chem
math
bio/computer studies
eng
urdu
pakst
isl

alevel
phy
chem
bio

Just wanted to tell that HSSC equivalence includes Olevel as well as ALevel marks. Olevel marks are very very important
