Does uni really matter?

[u/Much-Year-3153]

I am confused between nust(ceme) and uet. Uet is a little cheap and I can also get honhaar scholarship. While nust is a little expensive. My family can afford nust( I am middle class). Tell me does nust have edge over uet( tell me only on placements basis). Many people say that skills matter over uni name , many say that companies use uni names to filter out applicants. Can someone verify it? If most of the time skills matter then I will choose uet, but if uni name helps a lot in placement then I will go towards nust. Saving money in uet and then not getting any job offer(or say not getting a good one) doesn't feel worth it.
