SOFTEC Diaries

"As a new memeber of FAST family, it was not less than a challenge for me to supervise Softec activities especially to finialize budget, take aprrovals from administration and signing hundreds of applications. But it was a charm to see the outcome of all those efforts in the form of a fruitful event that not only benefits students in the form of a healthy competition but also provide an opportunity for job hunt."

Dr. Haroon Mahmood

Faculty Advisor SOFTEC

"Softec is very special event in the history of FAST and I have been associated with it in two different capacities, first as a student volunteer and then as a faculty co-advisor. Both ends have different perceptions, expectations and responsibilities. I was lucky enough to experience both."

Dr. Saira Karim

Co-Faculty Advisor SOFTEC

"When I look back at my life at FAST, SOFTEC seems like the best part of it. it groomed me as an individual and as a professional. It taught me good leadership and personal skills. It is an amazing platform for students because they get to learn a lot. Apart from that, it has been a wonderful 4 year journey with this society because i got to meet many hardworking, creative and fun loving people. From staying late in university to complete our work to dragging mattresses from highway till the GCR at 11 at night, we've done it all. Every moment spent with my team is worth remembering, even the stressful pre-event drama and the crazy entertainment eves. FAST and my SOFTEC family gave me memories that I will surely cherish forever. "

Rida Bari

Vice President SOFTEC '18

"SOFTEC was the only thing which made FAST bearable. SOFTEC is not just a society and event but a family. A family which helps you grow, keeps you motivated and will be there for you all your life. Some people believe SOFTEC as a society just for CS Students but it's much more than that. SOFTEC is the way to success and as the only professional society and event of FAST-NU. It provides you with the opportunity to meet potential employers and industry professionals which is the biggest plus of SOFTEC. "

Syed Shahzaib Hassan

Vice President SOFTEC '18

"Its been a wonderful journey being a part of this society and coming across such hard working members. Softec family has been and will always be dear to me. An experience that FAST gave me to cherish for a lifetime."
