you may be correct about telenor idk but as far as engro ,schlumberger ,ici and to a degree p&g are concerned they prefer giki students that i know

Any proof of that? 'cause this year loads of students were hired by Engro before they even graduated. Talking about Nust Islamabad.

because i am working at engro fertilizers , we have hired 11 giki students(most from any institution) and two of them are in my department i can name some of them, i am not here to degrade any university i was just telling what i saw ,i am from neither nust or giki i am myself a uet taxila graduate i have always seen nust student outbnumbering gik's(2000 to about 300) but in multinationals i mentoined gik students outnumber the nust students but the main thing that matters is not your university but your skill if i said gik has advantage over nust that doesn't mean nust is not good

Lums is catching up without any doubt I can say that in near future LUMS reputation will exceed that of nust.
Only a fortnight after the convocation of the Class of 2012, LUMS proudly shares exciting news of our graduates acquiring their jobs and taking the first step onto the path of success.
Our very first batch of Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE) has received an overwhelming response from the job market. A number of our Computer Science graduates have received job offers from Microsoft, USA before graduation and will join Microsoft in Fall 2012. One of our electrical engineering undergraduates is working with National Instrument at an international assignment. He was selected for the position against 1200 contending applicants from across Pakistan.
Our number of students going abroad to pursue further studies increases every year. The graduates from SBASSE have been accepted into distinguished Master’s and Doctoral programmes in leading universities. Twenty students from the School will be joining graduate programmes in renowned universities in Europe and USA; fifteen of them were accepted in PhD programmes, four in MS/MRes programmes and one student was admitted to a D. Phil programme. The universities include University of Massachusetts, Carnegie Mellon University, University of South Carolina, Michigan State University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Max-Planck Institute, Grand Ecole at EDHEC, University of North Carolina, University of Arizona, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), Rochester Institute of Technology, University College Cork, University of Connecticut, University of Texas at Arlington, New York University, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, Duke University, New York University, Vermont University, Dartmouth University, Uppsala University, University of London and Oxford University.

Lol what part of 'let it go man' is so hard to understand. Anyway i'm not gonna say anything in favour of or against any university because everyone has their opinions. I just like nust better because it's labs seem better than gik. Plus i like the H-12 campus. It'll probably be ahead of EME soon if you visit their labs :) (i've visited giki and nust islamabad.) Anyway i know a participant and i guess a runner up too of the international physics olympiad. He went to UET lahore because according to him it's not about the university, it's about you. People think that if they are branded with a university name, that automatically makes them better engineers but it doesn't. In the end, you should go where you feel that you can learn best and be able to best apply your abilities. So yeah with that, give it a rest. Peace!

They only take 3 best subjects so thats a relief. (at first i thought that no more than one C) I have full confidence that InshaAllah I will get atleast 2 A in physics and bio. Maths is my worst subject. So the third best is Chemistry. By looking through the past Grade Threshold I have deduced that the minimum I can get is a C in chemisry. So InshaAllah I will meet the conditions.
