Madrassa students left dozens of colleges and universities behind as they showcased their exceptional skills at the 19th National Engineering Robotics Contest (NERC) held at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST).
A collaboration between NUST and the STEM Careers Program from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan, the event aims to promote robotics research in the country.
The highly anticipated competition, held between 11 and 15 July, witnessed participants from schools, colleges, and universities across Pakistan vying for top honors in the field of automation and robotics. Among the contenders, Madrassa Jamia Baitussalam, emerged as standout performers, earning accolades and recognition.

After having triumphed in multiple competitions in the past, NERC served as the final pinnacle of achievement for the institute. The students dedicated their time and efforts tirelessly to this grand event.

Great achievement indeed. Students studying in remote schools have exceptional skills to explore. They need environment and proper guidance. Bless them all.
Their achievement is indeed commendable. However, Asma the first line in your article is an overstatement. Madrassa students were competing with college and university students. Here is statement from Madrassa’s webpage:
الحمدللہ، NUST EME کالج میں منعقدہ NERC’23 میں ہمارے ادارے کی حالیہ کامیابی کے بارے میں سوشل میڈیا کی مختلف شخصیات اور چینلز کی طرف سے خبر شائع کی جارہی ہے۔
ہم اس سلسلے میں ایک غلط فہمی دور کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔ ہماری شرکت اور جیت اسکول ماڈیولر اور ریڈی ٹو ریس کیٹیگری میں تھی، اس لیے واضح رہے کہ ہمارا مقابلہ یونیورسٹی سطح کے طلباء کے ساتھ نہیں تھا جیسا کہ غلط رپورٹ کیا جا رہا ہے۔
البتہ ماضی میں ہم یونیورسٹی سطح کے طلباء کے ساتھ دوسرے مقابلوں میں شرکت کرتے رہے ہیں (اور جیتے بھی ہیں) لیکن NERC’23 میں ایسا نہیں تھا۔
جزاکم اللہ۔
So yeah , that’s a huge shout out to all the madrissas. And a slap on the face of liberals trying to promote LGBTQ agenda in the so called prestigious institutions.
Great achievement by madarsa bait us Salam
Salute to students and their teachers
