Hi,
I have completed BS(Computer Science) recently from FAST-NU, Lahore. My CGPA is 3.05. I am looking forward for MS (CS) from UK. I will require your advise about 3 things
1) Which university i can choose for MS ( My friend told me go for Warwick University, York University or Southampton) ?
2) What is the scope of CS in UK as far as job is concerned?
3) Is there any scholarship available for MS (Computer Science) in UK?
Thanks

Most of good universities requirement is that you should have a bachelors degree with a 3.0+ GPA. So you can pretty much apply to any university you want to.
Having a 3.05 gpa at FAST is pretty good and I believe you have a very good chance to get into a decent UK university. Your friend is right that you should apply to Warwick University and York University. Both of them are pretty good universities and are recognized universities in the field of Computer Science in United Kingdom.
Job situation of CS in UK is pretty good. Though most of the companies in UK don’t give work permit however you can work in UK for one/two years after the completion of your Masters degree on International Graduate Scheme. After that you will qualify for HSMP and you won’t need any work permit to work in UK.
For scholarships, please visit individual universities scholarship section. However most of the universities don’t offer scholarship to MS students. You can also visit HEC website to see of any available scholarships for UK.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Best of luck with your application.
>>1) Which university i can choose for MS ( My friend told me >>go for Warwick University, York University or Southampton)
You should ideally apply to as many as 10 universities or more and then decide later where you should go once you get the admission results. You may chose some universities from the upper bracket, some mediocre and some below the average universities as backups. Here are the top 20 universities for Computer Science.
1.) Cambridge
2.) Oxford
3.) Imperial College
4.) York
5.) Bristol
6.) Univ Coll London
7.) Southampton
8.) Bath
9.) Warwick
10.) Surrey
11.) St Andrews
12.) Edinburgh
13.) Durham
14.) Swansea
15.) Manchester
16.) Lancaster
17.) Sheffield
18.) Sussex
19.) Cardiff
20.) Nottingham
>>2) What is the scope of CS in UK as far as job is >>concerned?
UK is a relatively healthy place for CS majors. You can analyze the market need and average job salary for CS students using this link

As evident from the graph, there have been some fluctuations, but right now the future looks fairly positive.
>>3) Is there any scholarship available for MS (Computer >>Science) in UK?
Scholarships are usually hard to get in UK. Most of the people either take loans, or rake up some money for first and second semester and then end up doing odd end 60 hour jobs per week to pay off the tuition.
However if you try to obtain scholarship using HEC or other local government scholarship plans, the chances are much brighter in my opinion. But be warned that such scholarships usually legally require you to return to your homeland after graduation.
In any case, there is no harm in applying for such scholarships. As the famous quote goes “knock on every door”. Just go for the breadth first search approach, if you know what I mean
