Hey everyone, I have a question about how NUST's preference system actually works when you apply to both Engineering and Computing programs.

I've selected Computer Engineering (CE) in my Engineering program preferences and Computer Science (CS) in my Computing program preferences — both on the same NET-Engineering score.

My questions:

1. Does NUST generate one combined merit list for both, or are Engineering and Computing evaluated on completely separate merit lists using the same aggregate?

2. If my aggregate qualifies me for both CE and CS simultaneously, does the system automatically give me the higher preference (CE), or do I have to choose manually?

3. Can getting selected in CE block my CS preference from being considered, or do both run independently until I confirm one?

I've read the official selection process page but it's not very clear on this. Would really appreciate input from anyone who's gone through the process or is currently in NUST.

JazakAllah!

AOA. Quick question: Can we reorder/change our program preferences once NET-4 is over but before the merit lists are out?

​I want to move CS above Computer Engineering, but they are in different categories on the portal. Is there a window to edit this later?

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently looking at my options for a Bachelor's degree and I know for a fact that I want to work in the Robotics industry. However, I’m stuck between five different majors and I’m not sure which one provides the best foundation or the most flexibility.

​I’m trying to decide between:

​Computer Science (CS)

​Data Science (DS)

​Artificial Intelligence (AI)

​Electrical Engineering (EE)

​Mechatronics

​My goal is to eventually work on the "intelligence" side of things—making machines perceive and interact with the world—but I also want to make sure I have the physical/hardware understanding necessary to be effective.

​For those of you already in the industry:

​Which degree is the most "future-proof" for robotics?

​If I want to specialize in the AI/Software layer, is a Mechatronics degree too broad, or is it better to have that mechanical foundation?

​How much does a Data Science degree actually translate to Robotics compared to a pure CS or AI track?

​Is it easier to learn the hardware (EE) and pick up coding later, or vice versa?

​I’d love to hear from anyone working in R&D, manufacturing, or automation. Which path did you take and would you recommend it today?

​Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I’m currently an FSc Pre-Engineering student aiming for SE/CS at NUST SEECS. I’m deeply interested in the intersection of AI and Robotics and eventually want to launch my own startup. I’ve been researching the National Science & Technology Park (NSTP) and specifically the Hatch 8 incubation program. I'm curious to hear from current students or alumni: How accessible are the National Centre of Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) and the National Centre of Robotics and Automation (NCRA) labs for undergraduate students? Is it realistic to bootstrap a startup at Hatch 8 while managing the SEECS workload, and how do these national centres support student-led innovation? Any advice on leveraging these facilities early on would be appreciated!

I am in my FSc 2nd year(pre engineering) bro I'm good in maths and enjoy it a lot , advanced and basic level both, I do like physics but mostly its electrical side , I don't really like the motional physics and it seems boring and too confusing, what career path should i choose which close to tech.
