A Comparison of Top Universities of Pakistan:

I graduated from NUST. Did Masters from UET Taxila. Served a Campus of UET Lahore for 2 Years. Served in EME College, NUST for 2 Years, Served at UET Taxila for 6 years. Interacted with graduates and faculty from all universities.

Here is my summary of observations;

Top 3 engineering universities in Pakistan regardless of what HEC says are;
UETs (UET Lahroe and Taxila), GIKI, NUST
Note: The order above is trivial

GIKI Graduates are damn good at communication skills. But lack in technical skills
UET Graduates are damn good at technical skills but lack in communication skills
NUST Graduates are slightly less good than GIKI in communication skills and slightly less good than UET in technical skills.

You may say NUST is the worst of both worlds or the best of both worlds, perspective is your choice
Another unique feature of NUST is Civil + Military interaction
Military interaction is not really an incentive truly but a valuable insight keeping in mind Pakistani perspective. It helps a lot

I do not mean to prove superiority or inferiority of any university. Just like Men and Women are different but equal so is the case with these 3 universities.

When organizations need people with exceptional communication skills mostly GIKI graduate gets 1st preference, NUST Graduate 2nd and UET 3rd (Exceptions to it are always there)

When organizations need people with technical skills, the preference becomes; 1. UET 2. NUST 3. GIKI (Once again exceptions are always there)

When organizations need people with a mix; NUST graduate becomes the ultimate choice.

Its my humble opinion. Not final by any means. I am open to any logical disagreements / additions to it.
