MCS is a co-educational constituent college of National University of Science and Technology (NUST). MCS comprises of three main educational departments namely Department of Electrical Engineering (EE), Department of Information Security (IS) and Department of Computer Software Engineering (CSE). EE department is responsible for undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the field of Telecom Engineering, CSE department is responsible for undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the field of Computer Software Engineering, IS department is responsible for postgraduate studies in the field of Information Security.
Software Engineering Program at MCS
The software engineering program at MCS is quite diverse and learning oriented, thirteen courses have been passed out and have been readily dissolved in industry. MCS givesPakistanEngineering Council accredited BE Computer Software Engineering degrees to its students which can be quite helpful for getting jobs in government and public sector. MCS software engineering graduates have occupied elite positions at several software and service companies.
Curriculum of studies
The curriculum is diverse, focuses on all the aspects of a complete software system which involves Software Requirements Engineering, Software Designing, Software Construction, Software Testing And Maintanance Hardware Design Basics, Communication, Marketing And Management.
Basic Courses: C++ programming, Object Oriented Programming, Data Structures, Engineering Mathematics, Software Engineering, Software Design and Architecture, Electronics circuits and devices, Computer Networks, Network Security, Digital Image Processing, Database Systems.
Why MCS Software Engineering has an edge
There are many factors that make MCS Software Engineers the cream of crop in the industry.
The Disciplined Environment
MCS as its name depicts is a Military institute, so discipline and regularity are its foremost traits. Disciplined environment shapes the students as great professionals and beneficial citizens. MCS is free from all sorts of strikes, riots, fights, gender discrimination and lawlessness. MCS has controlled study oriented environment which provides its students all the best opportunities of learning and excelling in their careers.
Division of Streams
MCS has the honor for having the first ever graduate Computer and Network Security graduate batch. MCS CSE department has divided the software engineering course in two streams, one is the simple Software Engineering and the other is Computer and Network Security. First two years of degree are same for both streams, the specialized courses are offered in the last two years. As a student of MCS Software Engineering student I consider this as a great opportunity to join an elite group of security professional just after the graduation degree.
MCS as a whole provides a great opportunity for its students to flourish in their careers and realize their responsibilities as citizens.

do u recommend fast cs over nust software???
Both are good.
But by my experience NUST has more competition than FAST.
FAST has v good cirruculum, exactly designed to meet industry needs.
But i thnk NUST is still better
I m selected in Softeare Engineering MCS with 1589 merit position
Congrats.
plz tell me how is software engineering at SEECS mene suna hai its not gud there…..plz reply me
its v gud there at seecs too, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT……
Both MCS and SEECS stand together regarding quality of education and standard.

i nhave 1644 merit pos n i got se at mcs.. ALHAMDULLILAH
my position in nust merit list 3699 .can i selected in computer software engineering
in Bsc
No sorry
My merit no. is 2130.
Is there any chance for me in software engineering? :s
Yes……but chances are rare
is software engineering difficult? :/ do NUST CS students get good job opportunities?
Yes its difficult…..you have to study many subjects from different domains as well like mathmatics, physics and electronics. Software engineering subjects are itself very tough too but dont worry it doesnt matter when you are in to it…and DEFINITELY NUST SOFTWARE ENGINEERING STUDENTS get very good job opportunities because of very good market repute….I have also completed my degree course work and doing a very good job.
what about NUST CS students do they have good job oppurtunities? As per general opinion FAST has the best CS department.
NUST CS students have very good job oppertunities…..my course mates are doing very good jobs in companies of well repute…..in Computer field there are very good jobs available so dont worry about job….if u are in NUST thats almost guarenteed.
FAST is also very good…..but still i would prefer NUST for Software Engineering
My merit no is 2645 can i get admission in any computer field in NUST??
Yes chances are there
we have to send our preferences. my merit number is 1509 i selected SE as my first priority, can i switch to CS after the selection list comes?
Definitely you can switch to CS if its in your preferences list of admission form. With this merit you can qualify for both SE and CS. According to NUST website you can change your preferences till 1st of Augest through NUST website, the link is given there.
But get it confirmed because I have heard that NUST has seized degree program in CS, nw its just SE. There are two NUST campuses which are offering SE, MCS and SEECS (H-12 campus) with different merits.
My merit no is 2645.. is there will be chance that i am selected in computer engineering or in computer science in 1st merit list of 2012??? how many seats of computer science are there??? and how much % chances that i m get in CS (approximate) nd when will be the merit list of NUST announce for engineering candidates?? Thanks
Yes there are chances you get admission in Software Engineering. There are almost 250+ seats combined (MCS + SEECS) at NUST for software engineering. There are 50 percent chances you get select for SE. The merit may be announced with in a week or two..
thanks zain for the positive reply..!! may Allah give me the admission in SE in nUST
Ameen!
My merit no is 2645.. nust first merit list has been announced.. us ma status ha “NOT YET SELECTED” mjHy yeH pochna ha k mera CS ma selection k chances han? han to ktna (approx)??? ya kse or computer field ma??? 2nd merit list kb lga ge?? nd NUSt sirf first preference dkhti ha ya sb?
First there is no CS at NUST, only Software Engineering at two different campuses. Your chances of selection are there in software engineering at MCS approx 50 percent In second or further merit lists.
2nd selection list will be published in around 10 days, NUST consdiers your ALL preferences but first is given weightage.
mera merit no. 854 h……yr mera electrical telecom m ho gya h jo meny 5th no. p rkhi thi apny form main…mgr m chahti hun k mera avionics ya mechatronics m ho jaye to kya 2nd merit list m mera chance h admsn ka avionics ya mechatronics m\ please tell me
meri prefrences es order m hain
1.mechanical engneering
2.mechatronics
3.aerospace
4.avionics
5.electrical telecom engneering
Saba there are chances of your admission in Mechatronics engineering at EME college Rwp.You are selected in Electrical telecom sofar because your merit no for first selection list lies in that range but it would change in further merit list. As far as avionics is concerned you cant get admission in that but Mechatronics is very much possible.
thnx zain….do u know how i can reserve my seat at nust because in the chalaan form i have to pay 70000 ….so if i want to leave nust if i nt get admsn in mechatronics so how much money will i can get back…………..??????????????
This amount is called ‘Application Processing Fee’, they are not refundable. Only securities are considered to be refundable and completely.
i am not sure….but i think you have to pay chalan fee to reserve your seat
but in the chalaan it is written that i have been selected in the electrical telecom engineering……………. so if i pay this and after that in the 2nd merit list i got admsn in the mechatronics …then how i will get in to this discipline because i would have already paid the chalaan for electrical telecom……..
Your selection in Telecom is provissional….In 2nd list if you get selected in Mechatronics your admission will automatically be shifted to Mechatronics because its your higher preference. You dont have to do any thing else. NUST will send a letter to you that ‘Your admission in shifted to Mechatronics’. It doesnt matter for which Program you paid the challan.

thnx zain…..so in your opinion wht should i do should i go fo electrical telecom???…………….. hoping that in the next list i can get admsn in mechatronics……….
Your Welcome….Yes definitely….You should deposit the challan As soon as possible and wait for the next selection list….
Best of Luck
ok…..so yr do u have any knowledge about the scope of electrical telecom??? is this good>>>> and how much percent chances are there that i will get admsn in one of my higher preferences???????? plz tell me pleassssssssse>>>>>
You have 70 percent chances of getting selected for Mechatronics engineering, Avionics and Aerospace have very less seats and girls are not preferred for them due to accomodation problems at Risalpur, so no chances of going to Aerospace or Avionics.
Mechanical has a much higher merit.
Telecom engineering is a good field as well. Telecom engineers now a days compete with Electrical and electronics engineers in market and there projects are mostly related to Electrical circuit desiging, signal processing and Electronic devices.
My merit’s 536 and I have been selected in software engineering -SEECS Alhamdilullah as it was my first preference. I have paid the dues on 7th august (a day before due date) but havent received any confirmation from the institution as yet. No mail! Help me out, I really need to know when will the joining instructions issued to the students. And how do I make sure that I’m getting in.
Thank you, zain
You do not need any further confirmation right now, the Bank stamped copy of your Challan form and the provissional Admission intimation letter is a proof that you are in.
The schedule will be published soon, it would be somewhere in middle or last of September, it might have not been finalized yet. But there is nothing to worry you are in.
Best of luck
Sigh of relief. Thank you so much! Stay Blessed.
Your welcome
Best of luck brother
hurrah……………THANKS TO ALLAH………..
.i got selected in mechatronics
Great ….:)
Work hard….enjoy your time….
A very prosperous career is waiting for you
Best of luck
thanks
