Bhatt Paras Krishna who recently graduated as the Valedictorian felt that it was a humbling honour to have spoken on behalf of the Computer Engineering graduating cohorts of 2020 and 2021 as the Valedictorian.<\/p>\n

\n
Paras felt that he would not have made it here without the support of friends, faculty, and fellow students, to whom he is forever grateful.<\/div>\n

In the following article, he recalls his journey in ECE, and even offers some tips to his peers. Regardless of whether you are a new ECE student or a current student, these tips may prove helpful to enabling you to make the most out of your campus life.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here is an excerpt \u2013 \u201cGraduating in the throes of a pandemic was a strange experience for our cohort. We could hardly be physically present in school over our final year, and we could not have a graduation ceremony in the flesh to say one final physical goodbye to our friends. The residual feeling is a mix of longing over the lost physical interactions, and gratitude for the fact that despite the challenges, we found the support necessary to allow us to graduate in time and move on to the next big chapter of our lives.<\/p>\n

Allow me to pay forward that kindness and support, and offer some tips to those who are planning to, or are, studying in the ECE department at NUS,:<\/p>\n
