Should I transfer to ITU from FAST?

[googler96]

So my friends and I were just debating whether we should transfer to ITU from FAST Lahore. We just finished our first year in the bachelor's of computer science program here and we have not had a very good experience. The teachers aren't all that good, the grading sucks, and it's not at all easy to get a good CGPA. ITU's faculty promises a lot (http://itu.edu.pk/faculty-itu/). Plus you can easily get a scholarship. Of course FAST is the oldest university offering computer science here in pak, but the quality has drastically gone down. So I'll have to choose between FAST's name/status and ITU's quality. What do you guys think?

I'm not gonna say anything about leaving fast because I don't know what ITU is like, But I agree with you about FAST not being all that good anymore. I just finished my second year. FAST Lahore is on a decline in terms of quality.

It's not that we're struggling here or anything(I and two of my three friends have CGPA above 3.5). It's that we feel that the teachers here are not qualified enough. When you look at ITU's faculty, you see graduates of MIT, Cambridge, Columbia etc. In contrast, FAST's faculty consists mostly of local graduates, and we've experienced their ineffectiveness first hand.

try to make sure ITU accepts credits before making any permanent decision, their rules regarding transfer are strict. In next 5 years, in my opinion ITU and UCP will become the top IT options here. but remember market runs on names, and FAST will always have that . rest up to you.

Any specific reason for ucp to be that good in it?

I'm hearing good stuff about ucp therfore?

 

[ahmad94]

A good portion of fast faculty moved to UCP it dept thats why and management has given them free hand to raise the level of the program so expect it to becom quite good in coming time

ITU is on the rise! Lots of research, lots of development. I say transfer. If not LUMS, ITU is the place to be. Also, being situated in Arfa Kareem really helps things career wise if you're planning to stay in Pakistan.
