MPhil Economics, Quaid i Azam University Islamabad

These days I am preparing for the Mphil test of Economics of QAU Islamabad. It is more of a luck then preparation though because there are only 3 questions and no more. The problem is that you might read all those three question before going to bed the day before the test or if you are in the grip of bad karma then after reading all those book of Economics you will left out these three. Thus it is more like a game of chance. I admit not really being prepared for it becuause of my latest addiction and that to movies. Download them in a bulk and watching those all night long.
    Well coming back to the topic the Mphil program in QAU is quite rigorous and perhaps the best in the country. It is composed of one year of course work and another for research. A sound base in Mathematics and statistics is must and usually people drop out beacuse of percentage requiement at the end of the course work. So unless you have a dedication and hard work it is not adviced to join this program.
 The test this year i.e 2010 was slightly changed from the previous ones. Here the questions were increased from previous 3 to 6 this times. Three questions were from Microeconomics, Three from Macro and one one from Econometrics. Out of 272 Candidates 43 passed the tests. Interview followed and now we are waiting for the final list of selected one.

In Pakistan Public Sector infrastructure projects are plagued by delays and some are altogether abandoned after partial work. The 23 KM long metro has 24 station. Today I had a glimpse of Pakistan Secretariat Station of it. There is quite excitement among the travelers and many are travelling just to have fun. Few pics here. Although secretariat is closed today being Saturday, still large number of public was seen buying tickets and Metro-Bus Card.  To avoid queuing up the line to buy ticket, a better option is to get a Metro-Bus Card. The card can be reloaded and costs 130 Rs for the first time and subsequently rec...

Chinese Presidents visit to Islamabad

People waited for hours at checkpoints in order to reach their offices as chinese president landed in Islamabad for two day visit. The Pakistani Capital is sealed and planes are constantly in the skies to ensure that the "big brother" is secure in the Pakistan capital. Employees of Pakistan Secretariat waiting at a checkpoint in the vicinity of Parliament of House. The are here for the past one hour and police deployed at the check post says it will take two more hours before they will let the workers go to office. As reciprocal goodwill gesture, Cheeni Saddar announces public holiday in Beijing whenever Pakistani president visits China. Says he enjoyed driving empty roads in the Pakistani capital. The aerial surveillance impressed the guest too, though he wondered what purpose these roaming helicopter are going to serve beside pleasure of nice view to those on board.
