Final Words from my Side…
• Master Programming in C or C++
• Conceptual clarity of Core Comp. Sc. Courses
• Improve your Communication Skills
• Discover what excites you.
– Make take at least one course for the sheer joy of learning about something that
interests you
– University is a time to discover what excites you, to learn about subjects far
outside your major, and to take some intellectual risks.
• Experience the full scope of LPU.
– Participate in activities. Be an active member of the campus
• Maintaining CGPA above 7.0 is important
– CA and attendance is crucial
Few Words of Advice…
• Reason out.. Ask Questions….

• Get to know your professors.

– Take advantage of whatever opportunities to connect with your professors
work best for you,
– Make it a goal that before you leave LPU there will be at least four professors—
one each year—who know you very well.
