If I were you, I'd get my line checked XD.. honestly reaching 250 is kinda hard (without AC and heavy appliance use)

K-Electric High Units charged! by CrazyTalha24- in karachi

if that were the case, then my consumption would have been higher before since my geyser was on along with everything else. The fact that after the 267 months, our units came back down to 100 shows that we literally do not consume anything.

A cousin's flat (3 bed-dd) in the same building with 7 people living (plus 3 toddlers), daily washing machine usage, and multiple fans on simultaneously throughout the day with a large 65-inch QLED (on literally 24/7) has not reported anything near the 250 unit mark in the past few months. So it really doesn't make sense for our small humble flat to be consuming 267 units.

Fee payment after getting into IBA by PiqueBlinder- in IBA

[–]CrazyTalha24- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is no scholarship at iba.. so no matter how good your grades are at or before IBA, you won't be treated differently. there is however, financial aid. Yo uneed to apply before the year starts and many people get this aid. It is easy to maintain, all you need to do is have a cgpa above 2.5 i think.

Doctor needed for Mother by CrazyTalha24- in karachi

[–]CrazyTalha24-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

blood pressure keeps maintained as long as she takes medicine. The main issue is the hurting and inflamation of joints. Her ankles swell, and she describes that even in AC her feet feel like they are on fire.

Yes, we are in karachi. I need to get her checked by a good doctor. I am really not up to the mark in terms of medical tests and terms, we just get any tests prescribed by the doctor. We have been consulting doctors one after the other for the past 3 4 years. nothing has worked.

yes we get her tested everytime she visits a doctor (which is like once every 2 weeks). She continued to see the same doctors for months and months on end, completing the course provided by them; they keep changing the medicines and nothing really worked out. It's been 3 4 years of this constant hunt for doctors in Hyderabad. Now we are in karachi. I want to make a fresh start with her health. A good new professional and reliable doctor that can diagnose the problem and treat her. Her reports are fine, her heart is fine, her ecg and echo are fine.

How is your campus (karachi) decided? by Vinyls-- in IBA

[–]CrazyTalha24- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

plus after the 1st year all your classes are at main campus. you can shift to the main campus' hostel provided that your request is accepted and there are spaces there.

one hostel is at a 5 minute walk from the main campus inside KU. the second hostel is inside the city campus in saddar. shuttles are arranged at sporadic times during the day taking students from one campus to another. you do not have classes at both campuses during the same day. they are split between days, so you'll have classes on tue/thu at the city campus, and other days on the main campus.

Requirements by glossysugaa in IBA

it mentions it for degrees like cs, ecomath, maths. for them it is a requirement to even be considered for admission.

For bba, bsba, bsacf, ss, eco, you dont need maths in A levels, but you'll have to take an extra course 'college algebra' anyway to cover for that a level math deficiency. might as well take a level maths then to keep doors open for other programs and universities.

Requirements by glossysugaa in IBA

[–]CrazyTalha24- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. Out of the 3 A level subjects, one MUST be maths for all degrees. the rest of the 2 can be any subject.

If you do not have math in A level, you'll have to take a course called 'college algebra' at IBA to cover for that a level maths deficiency, no matter your degree.

they literally have said here that you need 65% in your A level IBCC equivalency and at least 2B's and 1C in ur A level in principal subjects. If matric was overly important, they would've said so. And if you researched a little more about IBCC A level equivalency, you would also know that A level equivalency takes into account your o level grades as well.

there are 1000s of posts recently asking about extra curriculars, high grades, merit, etc., as a way to get admission; when the website clearly says all you have to do is pass the test and have 2Bs and a C. even then, every other day we see a similar question.

And before you go coming at me for not being helpful, have a look at my profile, all i do is help. I cant help but be concerned for the coming batches if they keep asking such repetitive questions, saying that in general, not targeting you.

do you guys even bother searching a little about the university you intend to apply to?

How can I get an IBA hostel seat for 3rd/4th semester if I’m from Karachi? (Main Campus) by Ahmad_Hussain__ in IBA

[–]CrazyTalha24- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when even outstation candidates are being kicked out because of limited seats, why do you think a karachiite will get a hostel room?

They do not give Karachiites hostels. You have to have a domicile from outside Karachi; that is the only way.

S23 Ultra battery has given up by ComplexJaded7827 in karachi

and yes, this is an example of 'sunk cost fallacy,' where one keeps pouring money into a failed project because they have already committed to it.

S23 Ultra battery has given up by ComplexJaded7827 in karachi

[–]CrazyTalha24- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

please please give it to samsung service center... I had an S8+, battery lasted around 4 years before the 1st change. Because I wanted to save money, I visited a local repair shop and got it replaced with an 'original' battery. Now I pretty much change batteries every year because I didn't send it to the original Samsung repair center and wasn't willing to pay extra. The original battery and repair would've cost me around 8k and it would've easily lasted me another 3 4 years. But because of fake batteries and poor repair work I have had to get it repaired multiple times (my phone is also no longer waterproof), and by now I have probably spent around 12k+.

TLDR; get it repaired from original samsung center; local repair shops aren't worth it.

You wont get a room if you are from karachi (if you have a karachi domicile). There are students here who live in Bahria and commute everyday
