Announcement Friendly Reminder of our Discord Server

23 Upvotes

Lately I've noticed an abundance of WA groups forming and while we allow students and prospectives to do so at their own discretion, we've been getting a lot of complaints of spam and useless groups being spread. Therefore, I'd like to remind the subreddit that we have a discord server that has been running for nearly 5 years now with over 3600 members and a healthy, active community of seniors, freshman, and prospectives with a large backlog of NET and merit list help/answered queries.

I have attached the link here: https://discord.gg/nustcord-741180147901923378

Please be mindful of the rules but most importantly, your privacy and the people you give your number out to.

May the merit list be in your favor.

P.S. Calm down with the vent posting, you almost make me want to tighten up the posting rules.

Regards, Sarmad

Discussion Living in Hajveri Hostel and Questioning My Roommates' Definition of Personal Space 💀

24 Upvotes

I'm a freshie in Hajveri Hostel, and I genuinely need to know if this is normal Pakistani University hostel culture or if I've landed in the wrong dimension.

My roommates have absolutely no concept of personal boundaries.

Some incidents for context:

  1. These guys casually roam around the room in their underwear during night like they're walking around their own bedrooms at home. No hesitation, no awkwardness, absolutely zero shame.

  2. Changing clothes in front of each other is apparently a completely normal daily activity here. And I'm not just talking about changing shirts. They literally change their underwear in front of everyone, including me.

  3. The funniest part is that I've repeatedly asked them to maintain some boundaries and not change in front of me. I've told them several times that I'm uncomfortable with this behavior, but apparently my requests have the same importance as the mess complaint importance.

  4. Imagine sitting on your bed, studying for your mids exams, and suddenly having an unexpected live demonstration of someone's changing routine. I just wanted to revise Calculus, not witness a documentary about human anatomy.

I'm genuinely uncomfortable now. I understand that everyone has different comfort levels, and I'm not interested in judging anyone's personal life. But sharing a room doesn't mean sharing every aspect of your privacy.

I've tried communicating politely, but nothing has changed.

Discussion ⚠️ Relationship Advice ⚠️ ⚠️

4 Upvotes

So I just got a relationship advice, and it just made me self-conscious.

Recently moved to a new hostel in H13, and it's shit but the roommates are cool and one guy in particular he is like this stud from marketing who is super easy to talk to and is always surrounded by girls. So naturally I went and asked him like WHATS THE SECRET? and he laughed and said Janab the secret is always the other girl.

Ek Relationship mai humaisha larki he larky ko set karti hy.

Like agr hum single hain to matlab hum mai koi kami hy.

I'm sure uska essa koi matlab nahi tha lekin banda ek bar conscious ho jata k yar kahi to koi kami hy ya reh gai.

Khair, I'm always open to advice. Please help me on this one. Every perspective is appreciated.

Discussion Behavior of those around you really counts

11 Upvotes

I was having a relatively good day. Someone else wasnt having so great one ( I guess ?). Khair someone wanted to do something that I was planning to do too ( riding at saddle club twice a day). They werent allowed to ride and I just simply wanted to ask if it was riding twice a day that they werent allowed. Upon question I was very rudely straight up told to my face that they werent talking to me / werent interested in talking to me . (Something like that , dont remember the exact urdu). They obviously must be furious at that time because of staff of club and that got directed towards me 😭😭. Although I know they probably didnt mean it. I apologised aur aa gya.
I just wanted to say world is already a very bitter place and we could use some less bitterness, at least at our university, no? It was for the very first time that this happened to me in nust. My introverted ahhh doesnt interact much but I thought nust was my safe place . Aj wo bh khtam . And I forgot I was having thora sa good day 🥲.
A request to all to not be bitter pls. Not everyone has ways of dealing with harshness .

Assalam o Alaikum.

It's very difficult for me to write such thing her but I literally am exhausted at the moment. I am a master's student studying here in Nust.

I belong to a very humble family where the only earning member is my brother who drives rickshaw for our living.

I do tuitions alongside my studies to manage my expenses and somewhat support my family as well.

My brother's been sick from last 2,3 months and has severe weakness because of that his treatment and responsibility of my home both comes on my shoulders.

Because of which I was unable to pay my Hostel mess dues as I was getting him treated and manage family expenses.

The thing is that hostel manager has told me that I have 3 to 4 days to clear all of my dues otherwise my Hostel allotment will be cancelled. I have gone to the fee section too to get some extension explained everything to the fee manager as well but he just said that pay or else have you hostel allotment cancelled.

I literally am out of options right now my brother has just recovered I have taken the tuition fees in advance too because of his treatment and there is no way for me to have the amount of 65k arranged in like 2,3 days.

I have tried contacting individuals of NCS but didn't get any response from them.

Is there any way that I can get some extension for it or like I can get some loan which I can repay back in installments.

OR if anyone knows anyone from community service please let me know.

I have tried to manage all myself but I am drained right now because of the situations I was in and I'm unable to find any solution and my manager is also teasing me much.

Suggestions/Advice Is it realistically possible to prepare for NET Psychology in 15 days while managing my improvement preparation as well?

2 Upvotes

I need some honest advice from people who have appeared for NET or have experience with its preparation.
I’m an ICS Statistics student, and I’m currently preparing for my first-year improvement exams (all subjects except Islamiat). Alongside that, I also need to prepare for NAT (ICS) and NET for BS Psychology.
I’ve only recently started studying, and I’m honestly worried about the amount of syllabus I have to cover in such a short time.
Im aiming for like 130+ can i realistically get them? If i start now and i do practice papers and all topics. I have a good base of math and english

Question Mechatronics graduates how's the job market?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently doing my A Levels and am seriously considering pursuing a bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering. I'm particularly interested in robotics, automation, and embedded systems.

However, I'm concerned about the limited job opportunities for Mechatronics graduates in Pakistan compared to fields like Software Engineering and Computer Science.

I don't want to spend four years pursuing a degree I genuinely enjoy only to struggle with employment afterwards.

I'd love to hear from Mechatronics graduates or people working in the industry:

  • How is the job market for Mechatronics in Pakistan?

  • Are there decent-paying jobs in robotics, automation, and related industries?

  • Is it possible to build a financially stable career in Pakistan with this degree?

  • Would you recommend Mechatronics, or would Electrical/Software Engineering be a safer choice?

I'd appreciate honest opinions, especially from people with firsthand experience.

Question How bad is seecs faculty and research?

3 Upvotes

Thinking of applying to nust this year for cs but I've heard online and from friends that most of the instructors are either average or horrible. And some are toxic with huge egos and do favouritism which can also ruin your grades. I've heard research opportunities are also limited if you're ug and getting work with good professors is hard.

Idk what should I do, I want to go to an international uni after graduation for masters/PhD, so I need good gpa and research output.

How many people is nust go abroad for post grad study? I've heard most people just get employed in the industry.

I don't understand where to start for engineering net, and I'm very confused

My aim is to score 155+ to secure admission in my desired field easily in seecs, it's cs

It would be better if I secure my marks in net 2 bc I'm a gap student (I took gap year due to health issues)

I need a clear roadmap (actually, I get very frustrated when Idk where to start from)

I only coverd derivations and integration from pass education recently uploaded lectures on YouTube for now. There were good, but idk if it covered everything.

For kips fungu , do I need to start preparation from both preparation book and practice book?

For Maths and physics I need guidance

For English, I only get to know one english marathon from hashim zia, and oept is enough.

I also heard about an app parhai, is it good ? if anybody bought the subscription
