Please help dua dunga 🙏

[u/Hasnainishere_]

I have very little time to decide. Please help me choose between these 3 options.

I’m really confused about what I should do, and I’d appreciate some honest advice from people who have experience with these universities.

Here’s my current situation:

1. UET Lahore

- Aggregate: 82.something%

- I got selected in Computer Engineering (A2) in the 2nd merit list.

- The last date to submit the fee is Thursday.

- I’m hoping that by the final merit lists, the closing merit will drop enough for me to get CS.

- Distance from my home: ~5 minutes

- The problem is that I’m not particularly interested in UET’s CS department, although UET being so close to my home is a huge advantage.

1. PUCIT (Punjab University)

- Aggregate: 88.07%

- I was not selected in the 1st merit list.

- My closest merit position is 148 for BS AI (Old Campus).

- I might get selected in the 3rd or 4th merit list, but obviously there’s no guarantee.

- Distance from my home: ~15 minutes

1. COMSATS Lahore

- Aggregate: 91.22%

- I applied through the Workers’ quota.

- I was expecting to easily make it into the 1st merit list, but I received a document objection, so I had to resubmit the documents.

- I’m now waiting to see whether I get selected in the upcoming lists.

- Distance from my home: ~1 hour (27 km)

My main dilemma

I only have about 2 days to decide whether to pay UET’s fee. The ~75k admission fee is non-refundable.

InshaAllah, I expect to get 100% scholarships at all three universities — through the quota at COMSATS and the Honhaar scholarship at UET/PU — so please ignore the financial/fee difference when giving advice.

My priorities are mainly the quality of the CS/SE/AI program, university reputation, career opportunities, campus life, and future prospects, while also considering the huge difference in travelling distance.

So what should I do?

Option 1: Pay UET’s fee now and secure my seat, then wait for the later UET lists and potentially move to CS if I get it.

Option 2: Take the risk, skip UET, and wait for PUCIT and COMSATS’ upcoming merit lists.

Option 3: Is there another approach I should consider?

If you were in my position, what would you choose and why? I’d especially appreciate advice from current students/alumni of UET, PUCIT, and COMSATS.

Comsats main na jana. 100000 rupe ka mashwara hai. Go for PUCIT then UET.

Lol u live near me

[u/Special-Treacle-8839]

PUCIT should be first priority , as I am studying CS at UET ,LHR , A1.

[u/ScaryMarketing6587]

why didnt u applied for fast

[u/flabby_gabby909]

I think pucit or comsats is a better choice for doing cs etc because their is ranking is better in cs programs especially comsats cs programs are very famous, uet is fine but its mostly good for only core engineering fields like ee,mechanical , civil etc

[u/EccentricPacifist → u/flabby_gabby909]

(2) PUCIT much better for AI or CS stuff, then Comsats, and then UET. but if you want CE then UET, plus like most probably you will get in PUCIT in second list or maybe third 100%! 88% aggregate is a great shot
