Hey there, So one of my cousins wants to apply to a BBA programme: Her main aim is to get admission in 1. NBS 2. Quaid-e-Azam (Econ most probably) or FAST Lhr campus...However she wants to keep a backup option aswell; A university which is atleast comparable with NBS...So her choices are

1. UMT (University of Management and Technology Lahore)
2. LSE is out of her list
3. FAST Islamabad Campus
4. Bahria University
5. Any other university which you may recommend which is in Punjab region.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thankyou.

P.S: A follow-up question, Is bahria better than Fast Lahore campus when it comes to BBA?

HEY you didn't mention FCCU forman christian college lahore i just got in though i am still confused to wether to go for it or not fccu has lums faculty
but fees is 2 lacs 84 thousand per year for bs bussiness

- - - Updated - - -

i have similar query should i go for fccu or wait For FAST lahore though i think ti would be hard for me there coz of fsc percentage else bba admission tests are piece of cake that is why i am considering FAST fsd campus pretty near to me home if not that than FAST ISLOO BAHRIA ISLOO AND QAU ISLAMABAD ,
u should tell her to consider UET lahore they have got stricter merit requirements

though merit for QAU would be really high wouldn't it be?
NBS has high merit too but has market value too i guess because of nust power
wasay FAST lahore A&F seems pretty tempting provided that its now accredited to ACCA and the graduates would get 7 paper exemption much similar to your lums i guess

I asked one FC bussiness school alumnus she said fccu has better job value and the alumni takes care of graduates as much as they can n case of job placement and since ffcu offers american style education their grads often get awarded with fullbright award

- - - Updated - - -

though i fear one thing which ia m really afraid of and i have realized now this is a Punjab specific problem that here people always praise what they are related to in case of uni's log iqra preston kay bba programs kee asay tareefain karte hain k lums halka feel hota hai
yeh baree buree bemaree hai khas tor pe punjabis kee sach nai bolte bas....

I am not entirely sure about the merit of QAU..I have heard it is high probably because they give a high weightage to fsc marks (probably); However my cousin has got 920/1100 marks which are "good" considering admission in a business major

FC University ahan, I will check its faculty and then decide on it....FCU has few exceptional faculty members (hoodbhoey jesy k); Some fields have very good faculty and strong reputation aswell...But I am honestly not sure k business k lehaz se kesi university hai FCU...han ye hai k as compared to GCU, UMT, even FAST ISB; it might have a better environment...

aur yes FAST's ACF is temtping, personally I'd say you should apply to FAST LHR, LSE and UMT (if you are aiming for a university in Lahore)...UMT is pretty nice aswell...

aur han ye barha charhaa k byaan krny waali baat aalaa kee aapny, waqiee log yahan aisa krty hain....

thankyou for the replies :)

woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...O MY GOD....SOM of FC has some seriously akheer faculty yaar, almost comparable to that of LUMS/IBA...BOHT hee akheer, aur waqiee purany lums k professor leeay huay hain, and some LUMS grads too; glad that you got admission there,; Now I know faculty is not the whole story but still it is a very solid measure... I will surely recommend my cousin FC ka BS Business Program, aagy she will choose the specialization for herself. btw what are you going to specialize in?

looking at your cousins marks why not LUMs? its worth to wait for it though you can tell the best ANd kindly elaborate y faculty is not the whole story .... regarding LSE i dont meet their requirements:crying::confused::crying: and yar after looking at bahria isloo's bba course outline it seems stupid.I planned to apply in FAST lhr isloo followed by QAU but i feel a bit shaken n sad i asked about Fccu from my mom my only guardian she bluntly replied no since i will have to move to lahore and hostels are no good places i am not that kind of guy who can survive etc and still there won't be any guarantee of any job etc.
So at the moment FAST FSD campus is my focus coz yahan se 30km hai like 30-45 mins drive etc....though my second year math result is yet to come *sigh*

Wasay i feel FCCU is also pretty money greedy uni they sent me a fee challan iof 20k ssued on 9th june which i got today and its due date is tommorow wth? i think saree private uni's are like that AND they take fee in 3 installments per year .Wasay if fccu is so good why do they offer intakes 4-5 times a year while higher tier uni's offer admissions once and abit lower tier offer twice yeh kya chakar ha maybe thats how they are able to pay such salaries to the high level faculty...But still fccu has foreign recognition despite being born in 2003 as a uni before it was a nationalized govt run college
Though i have a strategy now that i should give tests for fast lhr at least if possible then isloo would be impossible though since i cant keep running between three cities LHR , ISL AND CHT if i am able to get in lahore or isloo i mightbe able to gain some support since there is too much risk and doubt involved esp when i have pretty dark past in fsc .and
I also happen to have a friend in LUMS WHO IS IN BS Economics he advised me that A & F is total waste of time esp from mango uni's coz CA is the real deal and even LUMS A&F grads get paid less 50ish compared to CAs though LUMS a & f get 9 paper exemption from ICAP ?

Yar for some reason she just does not want to apply in LUMS. And there is much more to university than recognition, brandname and faculty; things you realize after experiencing the university life. The competitive environment, opportunities provided by the university, Personal development etc. and they are if not equally, still important factors, especially for business grads. So far, recently only Habib and MBA program of FCU (and maybe IBA) is trying to rival the environment being offered at good business schools abroad (and LUMS itself too).

yar LHR and FSD mein koi itna faasla nhi, chaly jao, aagy ja kr bhi to independant life hee guzaarni hai na...convince ammi ksi trah se :D:D apny future ka btao unhy, I am sure she will allow you to go...or if possible, why don't you settle temporarily in LHR (Rent-a-House or Rishtedar?)

and Do apply for FAST lhr, its bba faculty is good...mind If I ask a question, What were your fsc marks?

and Bhai ACF is not about just going into Accountancy and Doing C.A...The thing is

1. If someone has studied accounting before and loves accountancy and wants to build a career in accountancy or audit, then by all means join C.A right after A-levels/ I.com

2. If someone has NOT studied accounting before but plans to study and build a career in accountancy and Audit, then FIRST please study about this field on the internet, ask relatives/friends, internet forums...Then If you have made up your mind. Try studying basic ICAP CA books at home for sometimes (1 week), IF you are getting hold of them, by all means take this route...If you are not BUT you still like accounting, get a BBA or BS ACF first from a good (if not excellent) university...jinhon ne accounting nhi parhi unkeliye CA ka raasta asaan nhi hai itna :p

3. If you have studied accounting before and you are good with it but not sure if its your career but you like business/finance (uper uper se hee:p), Then Join ACF progamme or BBA as a second pref.

4. If you have not studied accounting before but you want to make a career in Finance/business to join ACF programme of some university or BBA programme of a solid university

THE THING IS, ACF is not all accounting, ACF mein kafi flexibility hai and the finance side of it is very interesting and mostly appealing (provided that you love maths)...BBA is very generalistic unless ksi achi university se keea ho with specialization in atleast some aspect of business (Operations, Finance, Accounting, Management, Public Sector etc)...


And yes Mainy bhi suna hai LUMS grads get exemption (ACF waly), but as I am doing Management Sciences (which is a pretty unique and Mathematical major), I am not sure k exemptions kis trah se milti hain...Khair ACF is broader than CA, and a good choice for those whose career path is not clear...

wasay i dont think UMT is a good choice though if compared to FCCU but dude look at the list of programs being offered at UMT Undergraduate Programs if it has any international repute i could really enroll in it provided that they offer unique programs and one could try to transfer credits abroad especially Europe
I have already sacrificed my interests i.e I.R / pol.science for the sake of rationality and looking at my economic ground realities.I somehow plan to move abroad after graduating but when i searched abou tI.R etc there is not much scope for them since those countries require skillful personnel with some skills LIKE SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY , accounting etc not a liberal arts grad because their own citizens also prefer arts etc.which force me to join the herd of those thousands of those avg university educated men who try their look

I asked about C.A & ACCA from my A.C.A not ACCA cousin he said CA nothing to do with Maths its is all about practice , self effort and most of all focused DAILY FIXED SELF STUDY which is a big no for me since all responsibility will be on my shoulders .That is why i am highly reluctant to join CA/ACCA mera temperament he nai asa .And thats why i want to join a university which can help me define a path and get groom me and keep me from distracting and procrastinating .
I have not studied accounting or commerce before though i have complete ALEVEL COMMERCE & PRE-ENGINEERING course books and few books of first semester of BBA lying around at home .I think is should try those .
not to forget i am bad at math generally

"For the sake of rationality" this is very misinterpreted wese...You can still succeed in IR/Pol. Science provided you work hard and get into a decent university offering IR and Political Science. There is no stopping, Not even the ground realities...
the fact is that i do not have the fsc marks to enter into IR/Pol.Science of some Decent university like QAU , GCU lhr will apply in them if i can and cannot even think of LUMS , LSE ,IBA .But for now i am trying to get into BS a & f or bba of some respectable university. I have pretty much convinced my family about me living away from home most prolly in lahore

though the IR path is till quite unfeasible for me now provided it has not much scope and i am not into CSS , media journalism either Plus not much scope abroad in europe etc.And i am unable to convince my family about IR.

I'm currently doing BS ECO From NBS. For me currently the faculty is okay, There's much more to explore in nust than the faculty factor. I see alot of my class mates moaning about nbs/nust being boring and they want to move to lums because from what i hear lums is kinda open university when it comes to discipline. This mentality is nothing but the debris leftover by TV shows like HIMYM or FRIENDS or atleast i think so. Completed my 1st year successfully and it was kinda good :), The environment is good, friendly people and also you can go out to university and enjoy the city life with ease ! after all it's islamabad, the capital city of pakistan :D

Just read the opening post clearly : Well NO to FAST as a backup option. JUST NOOOO for doing anything otherthan CS from fast.

I'm not sure but migration may be possible under valid circumstances, like back in 2005, my sister migrated from Fast ISB to Fast KHI campus because our whole family moved to karachi.
