FAST and NUCES are independent of each other. FAST is a parent organization of NUCES (whihc used to be FAST Institutes of Computer Science). Some people have the misconception that FAST and FAST Institutes of Computer Science (FAST-ICS) meant the same thing. FAST still exists, but FAST-ICS is now National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences (NUCES). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]).

If you're refering to my tagging of the two articles to be merged (National_University_of_Computer_and_Emerging_Sciences and Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Technology), then you should go back to the page Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Technology and see what it says in the intro as of now. (I'm changing it to an intro of FAST rather than NUCES). Waqas.usman 08:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major reorganization

I have reorganized (or would it be better to say organized) the article with a better intro and the rest under the headings of History and Software competitions etc. The article still needs improvement (the text under competitions needs refinement). Feel free to refine or reorganize it, but please don't write under some appropriate heading rather than dumping text (as was done before). Waqas.usman 09:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

  • I changed the order of the campuses to reflect an alphabetic one. Another scheme can be to order them historically. But it's not an important issue. Secondly, as stated in the user guides of Wikipedia, users are encouraged to contribute even if it means throwing data as in a dump. We are here to organize it and should drop by time-to-time to check it. User:yasirniazkhan 17:18, 02 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PEC?

NUCES-FAST has not been granted PEC accreditation for its engineering programs. I have removed the entry.

Please see this document:

http://www.pec.org.pk/Downloadables/Meetings/Acc.doc

Items 9, 12, 16 and 17 refer to the Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar campuses of NUCES-FAST. All of them have the following entry:

"The university is advised to address weak areas as mentioned in the visit report and inform PEC. A revisit will be carried out subject to submission of new AC-1 form."

So, clearly, NUCES-FAST cannot have its wikipedia page mentioning that it has been accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council. It would be misleading.
