thought I would do it since there are so many people asking about this who wont bother reading the multiple page handbook
If you’re selected in the first preference, very well you made it just pay the fees and apply for hostel ASAP.
If you are selected in your second/third preference but you see chances of getting selected in the first one, you too pay the fees asap and apply for hostel, your major will be changed automatically if you get selected in the first preference and the other seat will be emptied and filled again according to the merit.
If you are selected in your second/third preference with no chance of getting into the first one (according to last year’s merit and other people’s merit you see on reddit/fb). you decide asap if it suits you. if its engineering/computing related you can slide into my dms i can guide.
This one’s my favourite. If you’re selected in your her second preference for now and there’s a chance of you getting into your first preference but you WANT to be in the second preference, you email them (ugadmissions@nust.edu.pk) before the second list comes out that you want to freeze your admission status and then you pay the fee.
If you got selected into your first preference but you want to go to another field or change your list. There’s an option to pay 1000 rupees and tcs them the paid chalan and the new preference list (in this one you can add only 3 programs) They will adjust this and you can safely pay the fee even before its shown on the website. it will be fixed either way.
the whole point is that anyone who is selected should apply for hostel asap because I've seen people of merit positions <200 not get hostels because they were too lazy to apply. HOSTELS ARE ON FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS SO YOU HAVE TO BE ACTIVE
