mine is at 10:00 and there are no group discussions for bscs students and i have heard they ask u to solve a mathematical question!!..now i have absolutely no idea about fsc maths and i can't do a single thing without calculator!!..=//..(AlevelsStudent)...Help
Do you know how to program? My plan is to steer them towards programming so they attack me questions related to it, because I can answer them. Same thing happened at SZABIST: All of my friends were asked to solve a simple mathematical question or deduce a really simple concept, but I wasn't since they asked me programming stuff. Don't worry though, they won't give you anything that cannot be solved without a calculator, and most of the times, you don't even have to arrive at a solution. Just tell them how can you solve the given problem and you are good.

My friend at IBA was asked to solve simultaneous equations and find out the point of intersection, and he was given only one equation of line. Now you have studied your topics right, you should know that for a point of interception, you will need two lines, since one cannot intercept. And that is exactly what he said. My friend at SZABIST was asked to find out the perimeter of an triangle, and he was given really weird values (square rooted and such). All he said that if you add all these values together, you will get the perimeter. So that's how it goes. I was asked programming questions, because I claimed I know how to program, so they had to assess.

Is there any way I can recognize you? If so, I will tell you what did they ask me.

Well I didn't find you. I was like the 3rd or 4th person they called so I left very early. Anyway, how'd your interview go? Mine went as good as could have. What did they ask you?

They will not say "welcome to IBA" because the results are announced later. If they were to say that, they would have had to say it to every single applicant, which makes the announcement of final result pointless. And stop being such a little emo girl. If you are in the list, you are a worthy candidate. All that matters is that you answered confidently. My interviewers were cheerful guys, so I had a good time joking and laughing and shit. They asked me same questions and a couple programming related questions as well. All and all, it went good.

Also, you and I are most definitely in. Mubarak.

Im from Lahore. Gave the test on the 14th. Cleared it and got an interview tomorrow at 11AM, on the phone. I'll keep in mind the questions they asked [MENTION=13723]r4fay[/MENTION] and [MENTION=48071]arham93[/MENTION]. Hoping it goes alright.

Do they teach CS at the KU campus? Any idea how the hostel life is?

Yes, they teach CS at the KU (main) campus. Hotels are also there, and I don't know anything about the hostel life.

Hi all.

Sorry i was away from a couple of days.

I had IBA's interview today at 9.
It went good. Similar questions were asked as r4fay mentioned.

I passed FAST test too. Now i'm confused where to go. :/

IBA's city campus is 5mins far from my place.

I still have 5 days to decide as FAST's last date is 25th. :p

PS how to tag people here?

Use the "@" sign followed by the username of the person you want to tag.

Have to decide between IBA and FAST Lahore campus for CS by tonight. Can't decide.

IBA has a better campus, people, and I would get the exposure(Dorm life) that one needs to get during their university years. Other than that, I even liked the courses they are offering more than the fixed courses at FAST with a few electives.

But with Fast on the other hand, its a better degree. IBA's CS degree is not all that heard of and there's job security with a FAST degree.

My plans are to graduate and then go abroad for my masters and stay there.


ANY last minute advice?

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
