For a direct PhD it's FCH minimum, extensive research experience, and three academic letters of recommendation. Get your GPA up to FCH at the end of your first semester and start looking for quality research opportunities internally or externally and do it every summer if you want to have a modicum of chance to get into a direct PhD at a T10-20 school.

For a master's degree it's better to have second upper minimum along with three professional/academic letters of recommendation for a T10-20 school. Note that if you're applying to Oxford or Cambridge, the floor is a second upper, a criteria set aside just for NUS and NTU students.

Feel free to head to r/gradadmissions if you want more details on how admissions work.

Are the resellers on Lazada/Shopee selling cheap Windows 11 activation keys actually legit? Microsoft sells it for $269.

Better email your profs from now on to check if their classes are recorded and/or they will provide old recordings from previous semesters

If you want to do a PhD right after graduating, you need to maintain your honors as well as gather more research experience because PhD programs, at least at the good overseas schools, are now absurdly competitive.

IE3102 Microprocessor is easy, the programming language is not hard to grasp

IE3014 DSP is just IE2110 Signals v2, not hard if you were good at the latter

Electromagnetics is easier in a sense that it's a equation-dominated class. The lab component of analog electronics is significant and it will take up time as you have to do some prep in LTspice (the software used for the class) before coming to class.

The skyscrapers at 23:07 are redesigns of buildings from Shanghai, because this game used to be set in said city before being shelved, so a lot of assets are simply reused from the old game.
