Assalam Alaikum guys!
Does anyone have any idea about what sort of a university "Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS)" is?
Alhumdulillah I've gotten admission in PIEAS and FAST-NU. Now I really can't decide where to go. I plan on doing Electrical Engineering. I wanted to go to NUST-H12 but looking at my Merit Position, I don't think its possible anymore.
The thing is, I've heard a lot of mixed views about PIEAS. I know this guy who's a Professor at Sir Syed University Karachi and he told me to pick PIEAS without any second thoughts. He said engineers from institutes like LUMS and PIEAS are well respected in the market after their graduation. He said and I quote; "Agar degree chahaiy tou NED, Sir Syed ya FAST chale jao. Lekn agar tumhe sahi maanon mein engineer banna he tou pick institutes like LUMS, PIEAS or IST. Inn institutes k graduates ko nokri k liay market mein khwar nahi hona parta unlike graduates from NED or Sir Syed"
Then I asked a family member (a retired Army general) about PIEAS since I had heard PIEAS was part of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). He said he wouldn't recommend PIEAS cause he said you get tied down. Now i don't exactly know what this means, but he went on to elaborate that graduates from PIEAS get very decent jobs in the public sector in organisations like SUPARCO or KANUPP but thats it. It isnt easy for them to go abroad to study or even get jobs in other non-government organisations. He has friends working at PIEAS so he knows a good deal about it.
And thats what bothers me. After graduation, I want to study. I know I'll have to work before going for masters cause I want to do Masters from abroad and dont want to put a burden on my parents (cause obviously its gonna be expensive) but I really wanna do masters at the very least before I settle down...
So after this long rant I wanna know if any of you has the slightest bit of information about this university? Anything will help.
I know FAST is really good and known for CS but its not that good for Electrical.
Also when applying for masters abroad in countries like USA, Singapore or Australia, does the university from where you did your bachelors matter? (@Newton )
Thanks!
