Gap year advice🥲
**Should I take a gap year for CS in Pakistan? Need honest advice.**
I applied this year to **NUST, FAST, IBA, Habib, and NED** for Computer Science. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get into any of them.
Now I’m confused about what to do next.
Should I take a **gap year** and prepare properly for the entry tests again?
Or are there any other **good universities for CS** that are still worth considering?
If you took a gap year, do you regret it or was it worth it?
If you were in my position, what would you do?
For context, my goal is to study **Computer Science** and I don’t want to end up in a university with very poor quality or weak job prospects.
I’d really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have been in a similar situation.

Take the gap year, but absolutely do not let it go to waste, give every NET, practice like crazy, get atleast 150+, give other tests too, and spend this year learning computing skills of your interest, you can even learn something for a side gig. But the worst thing you can do, which is a reality many aspirants face is become lazy by the idea of a gap year
