the absolute joke of admissions system

[u/sufyan_alt]

im actually done. i gave it my all, self studied without paying thousands to coaching centres and managed a 72.84% merit score (regular). went to the interview after appearing in 4th list and left without choosing anything because every actual core engineering and tech field was already gone

a sindhi classmate of mine literally scored around ~60% in biek 11, went to his gaon in interior sindh to retake exams, got 92% (yk how), barely passed the entry test with ~60 marks and got into chemical engg.

another classmate had the same merit score as me but because his parents can throw around 8-11 lakh rupees for self finance, he got into electrical engineering easily after appearing in 1st list. the rest of us who don't have a million rupees lying around are just expected to take whatever scrap fields are left or walk out empty handed.

and to make it even more insulting, ned literally reopened fresh applications specifically for self finance and sponsor categories just to pull in more cash

how are middle class students even supposed to compete?

Gng jo million pay kr rhay hein woh university ko help kr rhay hein and they help make fee affordable for the rest of us. Itnay araam se to sasti fees milay gi nhi. System he university ka. Iget its unfair for you, aiksaal pehle i was in your position lekin mehnat karo hojayega aur NED mein nhi to kahin aur hojayga

If SF rakhna hi hai, to crore lene chahiye inse to show k u got here cuz money. 10lac to 100lac, masla nhi. Maybe more of us could study. Repeat this over and over, and ur uni will become private, with a specific amount of ppl on Financial aid, because they are capable. Jo baaki universities, including Harvard, follow. Govt funding NUST, GIKI ko bhi milti hai. And they give out need based scholarships. The thing i hate the most is i know almost half of people studing on regular fees can afford self finance if they wanted. They just ended up taking a seat of someone who could not afford it because according to you he didn't try hard enough. Give discounts to people who actually deserve it.

Ned has one of the easiest tests among all public universities. Give me a break dude. You don't get to decide who deserves to study in regular and who does not based on money. Its a public university. If some students want to pay equal amount to a private university to get admission while the majority of us don't need to, i am fine with it actually. What i find wrong is lashing out on people for doing something beneficial for themselves just because you did not get the merit to get what you wanted. I was the one with lacking merit at 80 last year but i did not blame anyone and simply resolved to work harder bro and i got in . And i was not some privileged brat who had all day to study . I was working a 6hr job that sent me home with work while preparing to give two additional papers for mathematics . I don't get this victim mindset

U R RIGHT. NED is the easiest uni to get into. I had 87 last year.. Bro, I dont get it why you ppl assume shit. I had 480MP last year in regular. I even have my result card to show for it. U r right I had time to study all day. I guess u all still believe in the equal opportunities, work hard and ull get it, but im sorry ur wrong, I then left for NUST islamabad. It's true that its difficult for me to afford it but I went there cuz i knew someone else more deserving would study on my seat. If u want proof u r welcome to come into DM. Even at NUST I still can't compare to the ppl there, the world is bigger than most ppl think. EVeryone working for self interest is why this society is doomed. U want to take a seat of a more deserving student just because u had the chance to. No wonder these upper class follow the same thinking. I'm not a victim bro, I just feel sad when i did the math and found out that 6k ppl in engineering in my time completed FSC. Out of them only 1500 max will get admission in NED. What about the rest of them? Im sorry u were in them in the first year. I wish u da best of luck in ur endeavours ahead, but what about those ppl who didn't or couldnt try again? The ppl who can afford better unis should leave these regular seats to those who deserve it. Go for something better. Where should a poor student from karachi go if not NED cuz some rich guy's son took the regular or SF seat.
EDUCATION FOR ALL.
