I just finished listening to this podcast and also had two emotional moments. As Alumni Reps, we sometimes face a lot of negativity in PMs and most of the time are avoided as everyone thinks we are reaching out to raise money for scholarships and we end up questioning why we are donating our time to this cause but this interview lifted my spirits to keep going. While all the senior batches and us who are involved with the alumni association know the majority of what Dr Aftab said but for recent graduates, this interview is a must-watch. It talks about FAST's History, Campus History, Decision Making on where to build the new campus and how FAST board members are selected. Most people don't know this but I was forced by my father to join FAST as he wanted me to stay in Lahore for my undergrad. While I had bitter-sweet memories with the university itself, it gave me great friends and a network. Many times I am questioned why I keep on promoting the FAST brand everywhere shamelessly but the reality of the life is you can't remove your alma mater from your profile unless you change your identity. GO FAST! Proud of being a FASTian.
@@sambillings7153 It's dependent on your financial situation. There's a Financial Aid Committee at every campus which decides the amount of financial aid to be given as per the individual's family and financial condition. As Rector mentioned, last year they gave 224 Million in financial aid.

This podcast is my introduction to Dr. Aftab Maroof and I bet I can listen to him all day like this. His answer to the last question (Pakistan of 2050) is the most real, practical, and impactful amongst the more than 100 podcasts I've seen on TBT. This man is full of wisdom.
Muzammil Hassan, you have beautifully captured and documented the history of FAST here. This was very motivational. Thank you for giving back to your alma matter in the form of this brilliant podcast !
@@abdullahihsan9812 I heard from my senior friend that Fast destroys university life of students in exchange for a better future, however Comsats balances both uni life and future quite efficiently 🙂
@@digiedits8150 Well your true for the first part. 4 years I've studied extensively and now I'm graduating but yeah uni life was minimal.but i still dont regret it since my uni is the thing which made me who i am. And boy the starting salary is exceptionally good for a fresh graduate.
I was hooked the entire time. It is so great to have a platform where we feel connected with our leaders and understand what the big picture looks like. Thank you for this
Dr. Aftab Maroof is one of the best persons I have come across. I had privilege to work with him in IEEE as fellow volunteers and to my luck, I am pursing MS after 8 years in industry from FAST and he's the rector there :-)
Today Actually feeling proud to be a Fastian, its an absolute honour for me to get a chance to meet sir Aftab, even studied a course from him. jeenday riyoo tayabu g ❤
I was the part of outreach scholarship program in 2007 from fast University Karachi. I am actually belong from interior Sindh. I am totally agree with doctor sb it was dream for remote people to admit in fast University but due to his vision me alone with 300 more students are now graduated from fast and performing well in IT industry all over the world. May Allah bless you for this kindness
He is one of the most competent and dedicated person I have seen in my life. One of a great gem. You name it and he will transform your ideas into reality. MashaAllah! May Allah Bless you good health and more success in life.
When we got into FAST back in 1991, we were told that we are only paying 15% of the fees, and 85% is funded by the foundation. God bless Aga Hasan Abdi saheb and his family, who was the main benefactor behind the foundation (FAST = FOUNDATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY). Those who know more or have more accurate information, please keep me honest.
❤Dr. Aftab Maroof really is a treasure of knowledge almost in all fields. He is at the top in ethics, humanity, kindness, loyalty, patriotism,...... ❤ I feel comfortable and proud to work with him under his guidance. ❤
Muzamil, As always Brilliant podcast. Suggestion: As the next generation, we are not aware of Many of the people being mentioned by the guest Dr. Aftab Maroof. It would be so cool if there was a pop-up on the video, a picture of the personality being mentioned, and a small biographic description. In this way, we would be able to follow the scenario of the whole conversation. P.S I am currently opening new tabs and googling these people. Very hectic bro. =D
what a roller coaster of a life hes had changing fields left and right and honing his skill and become an educator for masses im not aware of who this is personally but his story really gives you hope that if you set your mind to something successful will eventually follow ( ofc everyones definition of success is different) the journey of FAST is in and of itself very awe inspiring , truly shows if you Pakistanis have the willpower along with honest intentions anything can be achieved thank you muzamil for this pod really insightful
Nice podcast. I've once been to FAST, was truly amazed by the people they've have. Muzamil, amazing podcast. Keep inviting people from the academics with ideas as well.
Very inspiring gentleman! May Allah taala help him and us to figure out how to make CS grads more relevant to the industry. The top 20% shine, how do we make the bottom 80% shine as well!!
@@ansarmuhammad There are many ways IF SOMEONE WANTS TO DO. Teachers should not be hired just because they have Masters or PhD degree. They should be hired on their teaching skills. There must be a demo before hiring.

Humble and Great personality ❤️ Student k sath student, teacher k sath teacher, Great philosopher. that's why FAST is here on this position. #Fastian🙋 Wo alag bat hai k fastian bohot baty karty fast k peechy like tough time deti, torcher karti,GPA nhi dety and many more but TBH when ever you graduate from FAST then you would realize why they do ❤️.
Spoken like a true academician. (Claps). It has actually cleared some myths for me apart from other lessons. My university was near Fast Campus, Islamabad and I thought that these students belongs to an elite class. Moreover, never imagined that perspective of semester/annual fees.
55:30 .....73 out of 100 Indian UNICORNS consists atleast 1 founder from IIT..... well the reason behind ....me pointing this out was to make you well aware of the REVERSE BRAIN DRAIN phenomena which is pacing up
I am studying in Fast Islamabad and , I wish that there should be a Game development Degree in Fast as it can attract a lot of young generation to tech field.
Dr Aftab should start a Qarz e Hasna programme where we, the people who can afford, can give qarz e hasna to the University to support tuition fee of the students doing courses and return us when they get the job. Maybe they can double the number of students with the help of the people.
تمہیں دیکھتا ہوں تو سوچتا ہوں Tumhy Daikhta Hu Tou Sochta Hu پھر ملو گے تو کتنا بدل جاؤ گے Phir Milo Gy Tou Kitna Badal Jao Gy -Dr. Aftab Maroof (On Convocation) -
Earlier IITian were well trained and educated but job market in India was not good enough for an IIT grad.But time has changed there are quantity jobs available in India now, entrepreneurship is encouraged.we have more than 100 unicorn startups mostly founded by graduates of IIT/NIT and IISc(baap of all iits)
@@jaswantrana340 Most of those unicorns are now crashing as investors are about to cut money because of high interest rates. Learn basic stuff what unicorns means. Stop bragging too much
Very nice vlog again. I love the fact that youbvrought up IIT. It is great that we can compare and look to universities like Howard but much better to compare with another top university with our region. The way generally IIT works basically is such that even though their university program is 4years but when a student comes in, the start with a 10 year roadmap. They also have a very high entrance criteria. We can't have that at this point in Pakistan given our social/ cultural dianamics. Hence we can keep the current criteria fo4 entrance. Then we can have a mid semester counseling every semester including at the entrance. In IIT they have realized that if u enter thinking you want to become an electrical engineer, it is very possibl3 you don't want to do that 1 year into your education. Hence on their mid semester or each quarter counseling meeting with each student, they go over his trajectory and have the capacity right then and there to change that if the student doesn't wanna do what he came in with. We can adopt that and by doing this we combine the great education with personal passion and the end result is spectacular. 2. The student has to be submerged the entire 4 -6 years in their field- so in the first year they have to volunteer within the community within their degree program so if they are going for agricultural engineering, their volunteer work can be at a farm for instance. The 2nd year, they have to volunteer again similarly but in a more technical aspect. In the 3rd year 1st semester they have to do volunteer shadowing within their graduate degree field and come up with a solution to a problem arising from that work. They can try to implement it in that company if allowed or have a written very detailed report that gets turned upon return to the university. They definately should have a great job opportunity within or without Pakistan in any top 100 companies of the world. It also becomes on the student to achieve this ind3p3ndently. In today's online work atmosphere, perhaps if their hurdle is not getting a visa for a certain company, they need to create a need for them within that company even if it is a growth opportunity for that company in Pakistan as a very viable lucrative option for that company thereby creating a position for themselves for that company within Pakistan. All there off campus in between semester works should qualify for some kind of credit towards the degree. Please make sure to pass this on to the FAST university representative on your progr today. Would love to have our own IIT comparable university in Pakistan. Thanks
Tv Show like SHARK TANK INDIA is being well perceived by parents hence there will be a change in thought process eventually of Indian parents where they will promote their children to try something out of the box
@@syedali9198 Already there are plethora of contests conducted by websites like LEETCODE & CODEFORCES where you won't find a single Pakistani flag in top 100 ........MAN stay humble and accept the fact that Pakistan doesn't produces elite programmers ..not even close to an engineer working in an Indian startup
@@jaswantrana340 Stop feeling happy about achievement of other random Indians who don't even speak your language. Worry about your own individual achievement. You most probably live in small rented house in poor backward area, and don't have the brain and talent to get into any top Indian universities. This video is about Pakistan and no one is talking about India here, no Pakistani cares about India or has time to care about You guys. There is always 1 Indian who has no clue about anything and he just write random non-sense like a spoiled kid, comparing Pakistan and India. Compare yourself with IIT kids and where do you stand Rathore? No where? So, why are you comparing them with Pakistan and feeling happy about your own life? Don't have much to do in life ?
I enjoyed listening this episode like all of your previous ones. I appreciate Dr. Aftab for sharing his wisdom with us. Having said that, I want to say that Dr. Aftab could not give answer to the question: why students now are not able to reach Silicon Valley as previous students used to. I am also an IT graduate, from session 12-16, and it was my dream to go Silicon valley. During my undergrad studies, I was awarded a scholarship to study 1 semester from USA under Global Ugrad Scholarship(funded by State Department). After studying in America for 1 semester and after visiting silicon valley during my stay there, it became my dream to come back to US and work in silicon valley..... I came back to Pak (after the end of scholarship) and graduated from my uni, and then unfortunately there was no opportunity at all even in my own country- leave the sillicon valley aside. I tried everything that I could try but nothing could take me there. Maybe that was God's decision or maybe it is fate of our country's graduates...I saw my dream of silicon valley dying. I cannot explain how painful it was and how painful it is even now to forget that.... I will never forgive those people who are responsible for this damage..I just feel really sorry to all the graduates who despite their will to do, get no opportunity. And I also feel sorry for my beloved Pakistan...Who is responsible for our ruined future..Who? Who we should blame? Ourselves? But for what? For putting all of our energy and all of our parent's resources to make our career through universities? I know I am sounding cynical and it looks like a blame game where I am the losser. But just think clearly, who is responsible for what happened to us? We are not insects, we are human beings. Who will think to solve this problem? If universities won't solve this problem then why they are taking so much fee on the name of professional education? Let me say this what you already know: Universities are only doing business and they are doing great at it. That's it... Their work from decades is really commendable. Yes, it is commendable because they created their legacy; legacy of an excellent educational business on the expense of our parent's hard earned money.....Excellent business model with excellent revenue generation methods... A big round of applause from us - all the victims of this pathetic education system. At the end, I would say: dear teachers please don't mind, this is not about you. It's not your fault. I respect you all because of your status. And secondly, because you also suffered from this education system, like us, afterall you were also products of the universities. Free Tip for the creators of the 'Education Business Model': Flaw is in your business model because it is not providing value; it is not producing valuable products. Remember that if a business fails to provide value to it's customers (apprently students) then that business perishes at the end of the day. So, save your legacy if you can.
Have you selected? Actually I want to admit into it I have been preparing for fast test. How is your academics going here? Kia y sch h k fast m survive krna bht mushkil h?

There is always 1 Indian who has no clue about anything and he just write random non-sense like a spoiled kid, comparing Pakistan and India.
Compare yourself with IIT kids and where do you stand Rathore? No where? So, why are you comparing them with Pakistan and feeling happy about your own life? Don't have much to do in life ?
Hats off to you Muzzammil. I love it.

I enjoyed listening this episode like all of your previous ones. I appreciate Dr. Aftab for sharing his wisdom with us. Having said that, I want to say that Dr. Aftab could not give answer to the question: why students now are not able to reach Silicon Valley as previous students used to.
I am also an IT graduate, from session 12-16, and it was my dream to go Silicon valley. During my undergrad studies, I was awarded a scholarship to study 1 semester from USA under Global Ugrad Scholarship(funded by State Department). After studying in America for 1 semester and after visiting silicon valley during my stay there, it became my dream to come back to US and work in silicon valley..... I came back to Pak (after the end of scholarship) and graduated from my uni, and then unfortunately there was no opportunity at all even in my own country- leave the sillicon valley aside. I tried everything that I could try but nothing could take me there. Maybe that was God's decision or maybe it is fate of our country's graduates...I saw my dream of silicon valley dying. I cannot explain how painful it was and how painful it is even now to forget that....
I will never forgive those people who are responsible for this damage..I just feel really sorry to all the graduates who despite their will to do, get no opportunity. And I also feel sorry for my beloved Pakistan...Who is responsible for our ruined future..Who? Who we should blame? Ourselves? But for what? For putting all of our energy and all of our parent's resources to make our career through universities?
I know I am sounding cynical and it looks like a blame game where I am the losser. But just think clearly, who is responsible for what happened to us?
We are not insects, we are human beings. Who will think to solve this problem? If universities won't solve this problem then why they are taking so much fee on the name of professional education?
Let me say this what you already know: Universities are only doing business and they are doing great at it. That's it... Their work from decades is really commendable. Yes, it is commendable because they created their legacy; legacy of an excellent educational business on the expense of our parent's hard earned money.....Excellent business model with excellent revenue generation methods... A big round of applause from us - all the victims of this pathetic education system.
At the end, I would say: dear teachers please don't mind, this is not about you. It's not your fault. I respect you all because of your status. And secondly, because you also suffered from this education system, like us, afterall you were also products of the universities.
Free Tip for the creators of the 'Education Business Model': Flaw is in your business model because it is not providing value; it is not producing valuable products. Remember that if a business fails to provide value to it's customers (apprently students) then that business perishes at the end of the day. So, save your legacy if you can.
As a student what is other path??
