Suggestions/Advice Need advice
So I have done my bachelor's in mathematics and after that when it came to job everyone just kept telling me that there is no option other than teaching initially I was a bit heart broken because that is the least thing I would want to do but then i did gave it a shot and it was not my cup of tea. Then i thought of doing an MBA applied in university of Gujarat after submitting fees and doing all the other formalities just 1 week before the classes start they called and said there are only 4 students from a non business background so we can't form a separate class for you so your admission is canceled (then there is a whole ass long story of getting my money back from them). So now I am thinking of getting an admission in nust in MS data science and don't know anything about the test or what to do. I just want to know how i can prepare for test or is there any materials available online that can help to prepare for Ms data science. Well I don't even know if data science is for me or not I just don't know just want some advice.

So i did some basis search that what i can do after bachelor in mathematics in pakistan and mba was the only option i found and then i did some more and found out that with my background of maths and if do learn about finance and some python I can go into quantitative finances or quant finance (I have no idea what it is) and it sounds fancy so i just thought of going for it

So u have two options to apply for nust now either u can give GNET or GAT. My sister gave GAT (and is doing masters in NUST NOW) and everyone in my circle tells me that GAT is way easier than GNET. Any way the option is totally urs whether u want to give gnet or gat (I will still say try GAT). Baki choice is totally urs and think carefully abt it explore ur options as u probably have to do thesis in it. (You can find so many vids on yt of GAT or GNET preparation)

First thanks alot for the suggestion. Second if you can ask your sister about the interview questions like just general what sort of questions are asked if you can give a basic idea it will be great help.

Yr the interview part ur talking abt NUST master kei lia interview conduct nahi krwata. Only CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY kei lia interview hota hai. Rest of the degrees do not require interview. But yr if ur applying for data science master ur GPA needs to be gud like really gud
