1-Which department of software you work in? and is it hard to manage with your
studies? How do you manage? any advice
In start it was really hard. I was allowed to leave the office before 30 min of starting my class
in uni. Sometimes i had to skip class. But also had to maintain the attendance. I used to
work on weekends too.
2-Before getting in this field, did you have any experience in the field?
No. I was pre eng student. I failed to get admission in NED. So my uncle who has done
double masters in CS from UK recommend me to take admission in UBIT.
3-What changes do you think have taken place in recent years in this industry?
Now everything happens at cyberspace here. When I was in Pakistan, they had recently
moved to database from file systems, work there was not much web based then. However
now Cloud computing is the new normal. It has become mainstream now. Now we focus
more on that and web based development.
4- As youve studied at UBIT, what do you think lacks in our course or we, the
students and how can we overcome these issues?
What I think lacks is the focus on practice, we focus more on theory instead of practice.
There should be 50% weightage of practical. Other than that, education is made a real bear
there, it should be made more flexible.
5- Which skills will be most in demand in next ten years?
As I said earlier, cloud computing and web based development. But you can not be sure of
this industry, there is always a change awaiting in the corner.
The best advice I can give is to get into practical field. Student usually worry about their
programming, I myself was not good at it but when I joined industry, I got better with time.
And to keep up with modern technology.
A goal oriented person with a vast experience in iOS development who cannot only deliver
strong apps but can leverage average apps and turn them into masterpieces. A bvery good
team worker with a strong technical expertise. He graduated in 2008.
1- During the time you were studying, did you have in internship? and how you
managed studies and your work?
During my tenure as a student, I did one internship which was quiet difficult,
as some days I had to come to university directly from office. The answer to
how I coupe up with studies is teamwork. My friends helped me with the
things I missed.
2- Before getting in this field, did you have any experience in the cs field?
No I didnt have any idea about the CS field. As in my family, no one had
ever been in CS field neither had I worked in this field before.
6- Is there much difference in BSSE and BSCS in market, which one do you
think is preferred more at hiring?
I have friends from both. Both are doing good in their respective fields. But
mostly people here ask for BSCS during hiring process.
