When you are going to study abroad you should realise that the Credit Systems differ all over the world. Within Europe the credits are almost in every country the same under the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). The European Committee has tried to harmonize the member states' credit systems as much as possible. So when you are going to study in Europe, or http://dichvuthetindung.vn/dao-han/dao-han-the-tin-dung-donga-bank/ you study in Europe but are going to study outside of Europe, then you need to make sure how to convert your credits to ECTS, or convert your ECTS to the host country's credits. This means that you need to find out, before you leave, which Credit system the universities are using. You should always contact your own university or college, and the host university or college on how to convert your credits. Here is an overview of how transferring your ECTS from country to country works. Take this as an indication, not as factual information. Things change very often and it also depends from university from university. Not all countries govern it nationally.

Dear Asad,
I am afraid I am not familiar with the Pakistani Credit System. All I can tell you is that the German universities are most likely using the European ECTS system for which one year consists of 60 ects. You can always just send an email to the university in question.
Good luck!
