ASA I request u ppl to please pay attention to my email content what I have send to this group.I havent mentioned that Nedians r not getting RA/TAs in TOP RANKING schools neither I have mentioned that whole of my situation is just becoz of NED and please dont be rude or harsh,try to be professional in attitude.I am not here to put all blame on NED but its a matter of shame for me nowadays whats going on in NED.Please dont make remarks abt anyone without knowing abt him,his situation,may be I havent discussed many of my personal problems here.
As someone is mentioned abt top ranking schools,I am very sorry to say that no NEDian is able to get admission in top schools nowadays from electrical and computer side.Top Ranking schools here I mean MIT,Stanford,UT Austin here.I donno abt civil,mechanical and other disciplines. At present I know abt 20 to 25 cases from NED electrical computer who got rejected.Students with very good grades,very high percentile in TOEFL,GRE,but they were not able to get admission there as compared to GIK,UET candidates. One of my friend from GIK is in UT Austin.I have got a chance to meet his advisor.I have told him that I am from NED.I have asked him that y ur graduate committee usually reject our candidates.He told me becoz of low percentages,lack of any research background/or proper practical experience in the relevant field and most important SUB STANDARD letters of recommendation.All Letters r just like cut copy paste of one another. Lemme explain this to u one by one,y this happens Lack of good percentages: 1.Students usually dont pay attention to the subject becoz they dont know the significance of that subject,some told them to take EE or CS becoz IT is hot in the market now they admitted to the university and run like wild horses throughout their course duration and the annual system and course exam format is like that no one cares till the end of the session. 2.Secondly I didnt want to mention that here,but its a truth -biased behavior of faculty members.If someone do something wrong with any teacher in NED like passing comments in the class or making noise,not listening to the teacher,no teacher ever tried to find it out y this going on,instead he or she marks his name and determine in his/her heart to fail him in order to sit in the supplementary exam.I myself know some people who were very cool minded as faculty members but before departing for MS,they especially instructed the other teacher who was going to take his/her place that fail this candidate fail that one.Simultaneously some students are hot favorites of some instructors in such an extent that even they tell them some important topics/questions which will be coming in the exam. 3. Thirdly there r some students with ultimate goal just taking the degree,usually those who come on any quota basis. 4.Some old instructors r in the habit of giving less marks and more failure rate in any course becoz they think its a standard thing to do. Lack of research background/proper work experience. Mostly,I am not saying all,NED students only know the spelling of Research,and they think is that research is something is to cut copy paste from the internet and produce a document or report or whatever and on top of that most faculty members have nothing to do with any research.I can assure you that they even dont know how to write a research proposal and no one is interested in learning that for students becoz I am very sorry to say that mostly faculty in NED is just becoz of the fact they have to depart for MS so staying here instead of 9 to 5 job,or just becoz of the fact that they were not getting any good opportunity outside the university or becoz they r doing MS in the NED so they r forced by the dean or chairperson to teach in the departemnt otherwise they will get into trouble in thir MS so they r forced to do that and trying to stay in the department by making the chairperson/Dean happy by spying,whos talking against him or not,chairperson is busy in making VC happy to become a Dean and so on. Lack of good letter of recommendations I myself is an example of this scenario.My final year advisor told me to write a letter of recommendation myself,he just signed it,not read a single word,becoz I knew that he cant write a proper recommendation. There r some faculty members who try to avoid giving letter of recommendations becoz they think its a hassle for them to write.They usually take one to two months to deliver their letter of recommendation becoz they r the chairperson. Students are like canvases,whatever u paint on them,it will show sometime in the future.I have taught in pakistan more than 7 years and here in US as well.It depends how teacher present himself/herself as a good model to follow his/her suit or his/her saying.I have taught ppl in Karachi,who were criminals involved in 2 3 cases,but they have paid a lot of respect to me and they have listened to me. If my email hurts anyone,I am sorry but these r the facts which I am forced to say becoz of so much criticism abt my goat like personality without knowing me.
