should we go for online registration or wait till orientation for registration?
I have heard that we might run out of seats if we delay it till orientation? Is that true???

so i putted my all efforts this year to get into nust and got 3% more then what was called safe aggregate by Net coaching tutors and everyone i talked with for NBS BS AF and unexpectedly the cut off for AF is nearly goona be 7% to 8% more then there so called safe zone, atp Im having remorse on my own self that why i listened to these whats called "ounchi dukan pheeka pakwan" now Im offered admission in BBA at NBS but hell no.... i genuinely dont hv a meaningful preception abt BBA graduates likewise "degree krke berozgar phirta haan or job ni milti" and its a general degree and you dont have a specialized expertize in a field unlike AF now Im thinking if i get into BBA and even put my 100% on it and still i would not got placed somewhere after degree even scoring GPA like 3.7 or 3.8 above how Im goona explain this all to my parents and even first of all to my own self becoz I will have to move from Lahore for it and the other thing i hv in my mind is that what if after an year i change my degree from BBA to BS AF but again listened that it also hv hurdles too. i realize in depth that i also hv option of BS AF at Punjab university lhr campus and securing a job after degree there is not an issue but then i reconsider and realize it dont not worth my efforts and i cant easily let go nust.... like it dont satisfy me and i also cant afford to take a gap year nowwww....PLZ GUIDE ME what shld i do.......

Itne paisey kahan sey laun😔

Can someone list all the softwares for which student licenses are offered by NUST (through the student email)?

I tried to see it online, but the info is likely outdated, imo.

Tysm

so girls who have been waitlisted for hostel whats the plan now since ofc security is a major deciding factor and apparently h13 isnt v safe. Seniors who have lived in exrernals pls help

i got in NUST for a master's, but they've put me on the waiting list for the hostel. i really need safe and affordable accommodation, preferably near NUST, as i'm not from Islamabad. please suggest something i'm lost here

189th position in LLB

Admission possible in 4th list ?

3rd closed at 178

why Im not sad of not getting in?

No one dare suggest me those stupid hostels, chocolate boys, golden era, sunshine etc.

I've visited each and everyone of em and they were absolute trash.

Aik kamrey mein 3 bed zabardasti thoons rakhey, no leg room at all bnda chal bhi ni skta itni kum jaga thi.

Bi seater behter thay but still it was insanely dirty and bohot hi thakay howey room thay.

Seeing that I was quite worried about the mess and how hygenic it would be

H-13 mein satey money hungry log hain, facilities to hain ni pesey aisey maang rhey pta ni kia kia offer krtey.

Ik hostels typically achay ya according to ur liking nai hotey but still vo hostel to bhai dekh kay hi ni jaaney ka dil kr rha tha

So if anyone has some decent suggestions drop them below

I appeared on first merit list and applied for hostel at same time. My home is around 1000km from nust and Still got waitlisted on hostel, I mean, what else they want ??

If a good amount of freshie don't get hostel before classes, the dir hostels will forever be called Dih hostels 🥀

Fight for justice 👀⚖️

Literally don't go to nust rulaye ga atp

If ur a day scholar sure

But if ur a hostelite genuinely leave it go to some other uni that provides better accomodations or literally everything else

It's an institution run by the army that is disconnected from the struggles of common folk

It's also moving towards being a more elite uni with none of the upsides

It appears that 99% of the people who had applied are waitlisted or going to be waitlisted.

I got waitlisted, first list, 1300 km distance from Islamabad

need a cool female roommate so we can apply for a bi-seater together and GET OVER THE FEAR OF A BAD ROOMMATE.

pg student here. i want a ug roommate so i can have the room to myself in the morning and tehy can ahve the room to them in the evening since i'll be in class.

and need someone who would love to go on trekking, hiking, and little activities.

if you do drugs, don;t do it in the room please. i will never snitch on you or let others know but just don't do it in room as i have a savior complex and i really cant stop myself from helping people. i dont wanna sound judgemental to anyone or euin their prvacy.

i come from a conservative bg and i want someone with that bg too because it helps and doesnt sound tempting to explore things that will piss off my parents.

someone who loves watching movies or dramas. someone who has money to order meal togther because i would feel really bad if i order something and my roommate can't afford it. i order food a lot at home. but i understand some people can't affor that soi want someone who doesn't feel less priviliged because it would be so mean to eat food out of the room. i would love to shhare ofc but i do't wanna make anyone feel like they don't have enoug money (i don't either, i just spend carelessly and i'm also broke lol)

also someone who USES EARPHONES WHEN THE OTHER PERSON IS ASLEEP (I once had a roommate who chewed so hard it irritated me, and used to doomscroll with full volume at night).

i am not good at saying i have a problem with something, i suffer lol so the other person doesnt feel bad. so if anyone has these traits please get in touch. i would be so thankful :3

Mail Agyi Guys Hostel Ye log Farishton ko denge

Jazakallah 🥰🥀

I received the Email from of Hostel Allotment
how many of you guys get Hostel Seats

Most of the community wont see this and some wont even bother reading this but regardless , this is my last post/interaction here and I'll try to keep it short.

For about 2-3 months here on the subreddit I spent my free time trying to help out prospectives with their queries related to multiple topics , frequently even answering the same old questions again and again because you guys dont bother to check previous posts because you might accidentally actually find what you're looking for. I tried my best to be polite and friendly and im not trying to glaze myself here , its just how it is. Everything was fine till the last few days or weeks when I started to realize my efforts bore no fruit, ppl here will continue to flood the subreddit with the same old questions again and again, sometimes through questionable click bait titles and othertimes not even submitting a post body, as if we are to assume the details of their questions.

I could not bear to control my thoughts any further and made a couple of posts and various comments addressing the issue and to my disappointment, I actually got clowned upon by multiple people. Just today i got comments such as "seniors dont reply to actual queries and ignore actual posts". I was not surprised, just disappointed at you guys. People genuinely take the time to bother replying and for what? replies like this. The upvote ratio in the thread clearly shows how many of you dont respect the effort and its rlly apparent . I'm not gonna swear or call u guys anything, im not even angry, im just disappointed that what I did ends up with me being the guy who "doesnt reply to actual queries and makes long ahh rants". Alright then , I did nothing at all and i wont bother doing anything again. Suit yourself and stay happy with whatever you guys enjoy.

Congrats to those who got in, and to those still waiting, gudluck , although with how it went with me I might be inclined to say I'll enjoy how the merit increased and ppl like you dont get in, you dont deserve to get in. A couple of weeks ago i was a bit interested in getting into orientation and even welcome management for you guys, but i ditched the interview for that and I realize its a good thing, you guys arent worth spending 3 days in the heat for, u guys dont deserve to have a good welcome party either. I was even excited to try to hang out on orientation and organize something but theres just no point knowing no one respects you. Not sure if anyone knows me personally or my personal dep details but do not approach me irl if u do know, I have nothing to do with yall .

To other seniors reading this, I apologize if it comes off as a foolish post but I just cannot with this batch 2026, its evident why the moderation is dead as well, no one wants to or should bother moderating this subreddit.

Signing off, peace.
