National University of Sciences and Technology

Hey, Anyone here about National University of Sciences and Technology, a friend told me to consider this place, and I never have heard about it on this forum. Heres the site. Anyone have any info about this place let me know. Thanks

The National University of Science & Technology (NUST) does NOT have its own medical college. Instead, they have some seats which are reserved at Army Medical College in Rawalpindi and they have an admissions process for those reserved seats. If you get into the medical program through NUST, you go to Army Medical College but you're not required to serve in the military upon graduation (I'm pretty sure).

So to sum up, NUST does not have its own college.

rehan is correct..nust is affiliated with army medical college..so basically you study at AMC but you get your seat from NUST and your degree is from NUST as well..

I'm currently a third year med student at AMC: an NFC, which is a NUST foreign cadet. If you have any more questions about AMC or NUST, do let me know, I'll be more than happy to answer.

Fairza800, how do you like the place? Is it strict? n I heard you guys have uniforms? how is it for a foreigner?

Isnt Army affiliated with NUST instead of vice versa? =) I know Faiza just LOVES the army uniform!

the place is VERY strict...i mean u get fines or extra drills for things like not wearing your beret, not saluting, being in the library during lecture hours, missing wards...etc..etc...etc

But you get used to that eventually, the worst part about the place is the narrow-mindedness of the ppl...man it gets to u sometimes. All in all I don't think its the best place in pak for a foreigner. Not really a very receptive environment. The facilities and teachers are only second best to AKU especially since the college has started expanding. The admin is also getting a lot better...much more supportive of the students and they are finally favoring academia over discipline.

We do have uniform...which of course I do LOVE Girls wear saris, guys wear khaki...but I've heard that the order has been passed to change to camouflage n that'll prolly be implemented in the next two-three years. I think its cool, can't wait to be walking around all commando-like (GI Jane).

Yoseph..NUST with AMC or AMC with NUST...orange juice, orange soda...whats the difference :p

faiza could u guide me how to prepare for the test and which books is best and how many words should i prepare for english and from where?do u also tell me some good mcqs books
thanx

surprised to see that people actually are interested in this place

You may want to work on the wording of your posts a little more often.

Just a thought.

Wasanbaloch...why would u be surprised, I mean u were the one who started the topic.

Meraal- I am a foreign student so I had to give the SAT2s in chem, physics, bio. Are u planning on giving the SAT2s or the local entrance exam? In any case, the best review books for both exams is the princeton review series. I just read those along with the regular high school text book and managed to do pretty well.

no problemo..anytime man

hey everyone... was wondering if all those applying to AMC (NUST) received the entry test cards?
cuz the engineering candidates here in isloo have already recieved their's...
