 In academics there is absolutely no discrimination amongst the students of the college, but for identification the students are divided into three different categories depending upon their selection criteria. |  |
 The Gentlman Cadets are the special selected students/cadets of the college. Each year generally there are 60 cadets selected by the Pakistan Army to be trained as Engineers for the Corps of EME at the college. These cadets are trained to become Army officers here at the college. After the completion of their B.E.s in respective disciplines they get further training at the PMA. They can be distinguished from other students by their Army uniforms.  The Paying Cadets are actually sons/daughters of Army personnel, there are certain number of seats reserved for them which they qualify for, through merit lists. They are offered special concessions in their hostel and tution fees.  They are the Nust Students. All the national and foreign students doing Bachelors from the college fall under this category. They are selected on open merits by the National University of Science and Technology. Their strength is not fixed. | |
