Should i join LUMS for engineering?
- Thread starter cool
- Start date
cool. frst of all let me tell u dat be in no doubt dat joining LUMS is worth the experience. It is currently the best institute for management sciences, and certainly one of the very best if not the best, for engineering, So yes, I think u shud try out for lums. Its the name, and the quality of education, that you pay for, so the fees is bound to be high as LUMS gives u that and alot more,
The issue wid fees,,,,welll i realy dont kno how ure askin this now bcoz da deadline for registration for fall 2011 is way past gone.....but yes, let me tell u that you can apply for financial aid, and judging from ur financial status LUMS will giv u da appropriate financial aid...and den if u constantly receive scholarships dre ure bound to get a prcentage of ur fees deducted evrytime u do so. there r lots of students like u who hav graduated from LUMS. well i dont kno wht the situation is ryt now, but i think there r many agencies and organizations in Pakistan who giv out academic funds to achieiving students. so that is alsoi a way out.
So yea if ure applying for nxt year den apply in both places....the future is always uincertain u must have back up
al da best

LUMS is good for engineering and NUST is also good!
if u got into LUMS and the result for NUST is yet to come
go for LUMS
u never know whether u get into NUST or not!
plus u can get a finanial aid from LUMS as i've heard!
I can confirm and tell u abt it!

depends.
frst u need to giv the LUMS Common admission test (LCAT)
and ofcours perfrmanc in dat is exxtremely significant
if however u r an international student nd cant appear for the LCAT in pakistan u hav to show dem ur SAT score. they dont realy mention the min SAT score dat dey need but yea it oughtta b gud enuf too. well for schools oder dn SSE dey dont require SAT II. for SSE im ot sure ull hav 2 chek.
once they giv u ur conditional offer (or if uve already given ur A levels) u shud hav atleast 3 principal subjects (GP doesbt count)
And grades should b no less dan 2 B's and 1 C, such that there is no more dan 1 C and no less dan a C in any subject.
For SSE again. ull hav 2 chek if they need science or any oder specific subjects.
apart from that, well any good university looks for a candidate with a good academic school record and an avid participant.
u can visit their website www.lums.edu.pk
hope dat helped
my brother was in lums sse but after two years he was dis hearted and was thoroughly let down by the staff my younger brother is in nust and trust me he is better off the elder brother applied to another university got the admission and left lums even after 2 years, i have also got admission in lums this year but my brother is totally against my going there so here is my opinion that nust is definatly better than lums and with the fee load of lums you will do better in nust InshAllah
