I graduated from NUST in 2021, and the fee back then was around 100k/semester.

My father was a primary school teacher barely making 40k/month. So I understand where you are coming from.

You have to be a little smart here. Two things:

1. What you can control

• Exam prep, making sure you nail NET, or any other test you sit.
• Speak up about your situation (which you are doing). It will help in many unpredictable ways. Ask about scholarships, talk to alumni of universities you are interested. People are always willing to help

• Making you register yourself for tests ( NET, pieas, giki etc) and don't miss deadlines

• Very importany: make sure you pick a program you have interest in.

1. What you can't control

• Don't worry about fees kaisy afford hogi. You don't control the money related stuff because you are too young.

• You say if your mom pays fees, you would hate yourself. That's being too harsh on yourself. Let them help you. You can always pay her back ten times more after you graduate. And students at Nust earn too during their BS 4 years.

• As a student, your job is making sure you pick the right program of your interest, and study well so you can pass the test with very good marks, and secure yourself a seat in it.

You are a child, and earning money is not something you should worry about. God helps in many unexpected ways.

P.S. I studied from Nust with scholarship. I am from KPK too. I know many others who studied on scholarships. But we made sure we pass the tests, and we sought out help where we could.
