Assalam alaikum
I am really impressed by Dr. Aamir thoughts,I myself an NEDian and I have studied MS Engineering here in US.I have done BE in Computer Engineering from NED .You have mentioned all those issues what I think,but I am very sorry to say that no one will pay attention on these issues in Pakistan. The problems what I am facing here at present,I think 60% to 70% of it just becoz I havent done any thing significant at my undergrad level except memorizing the stuff and filling many copies in exams to get good marks,although I have completed all relevant courses in my BE which are required to go for my Engineering major.I was in top ten in my final year BE result but now I am hardly maintaining GPA 3.0 at grad level.I have started research in wireless communications but after one semester my professor told me that I am not meeting his standards and therefore he cant allow me to continue research with him.It hurt me personally and financially as well.I was unable to get any RA/TA.I am an orphan and not from any financially sound family.Someone sponsored me from Pakistan for first semester in US becoz of my good grades and thats y I am here.I have worked hard but becoz of financial depression of paying the fees and lack of good background I have just completed my MS here with payable loan which I am still unable to pay fully so now university is not awarding me the masters degree. I had a plan to go for PhD but I think in this situation no school will accept me for PhD. These r the facts which no one realizes.Every one beats his own drum.I have seen Dr.Aamirs email on ECN so I thought to share my thoughts with all of you.
