It is said that PhD is not a cup of tea for everyone. I will go a step ahead in saying MS may also not be the one. One needs to be introspective when deciding about his future. It is unfortunate that the overall education system in Pakistan favours roting instead of learning. This rusts the analytical skills of our otherwise sharp students. We also severely lack behind in English while our mathematical foundations are also not too well. Knowledge is discovery. Though recently there has been some initiative towards bridging this learning gap but in the end what it matters is how one presents his discovery. We still have some pondering to do on those lines ...

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 no! t 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.
Thanks
Manzoor
