Thomasian Electronics Engineering Licensure Exam 2019 Topnotcher: Neil Kenneth Mendoza



Among 4,977 who took the 2019 Licensure Exam in Electronics Engineering and Electronics Technician, 2,460 ECE students passed. Among these 2,460 passers two of students of the University of Santo Tomas made it to the top 10 and even one of them succeeded in being the topnotcher of their batch in both the ECE and Electronics Technician Licensure Exam.



From last year’s 79.26-percent to an 80-percent passing rate, the University of Santo Tomas qualifies as the third top-performing school in the field of electronics engineering. 96 out of a total of 120 Thomasian examinees passed the Electronics Engineering Licensure Exam 2019.In line with this, the university maintained its rank as the second top-performing school of Electronics Engineering and Technician in the Philippines with a 92.55-percent passing rate which us 87 out of 94 Thomasian examinees. UST's ranking was maintained with the help of their very own ECE graduate Mr. Neil Kenneth Mendoza who topped the exams as well as another thomasian who placed  10th in the Electronics Engineering and Electronics Technician Licensure Exam.



Mr. Neil Kenneth Mendoza is part of the UST Electronics Engineering Batch 2019 and emerged as his batch’s Magna Cum Laude as well as the topnotcher for the Electronics Engineering Licensure Exam with a grade of 94 percent. He also topped the Electronics Technician exam with a score of 92 percent. He truly is a living proof that hard work does pay off, based on his answer from an interview held by varsitarian, he stated that he did not take any course lightly and sacrificed comfort in order to succeed and give back to his parents. 



We may learn from his story that though there may be many obstacles in the way, the finish line will always be worth the hardships we go through. Through perseverance we may be able to overcome our limits and rise above our mistakes in order to become wiser in words and actions. 


Here are some quotes given by Neil in an interview with the Varsitarian.

“I did not take a single course in college lightly…I believe that building a strong foundation eventually pays off. In my case, it paid off in my graduation and board exam,” - Neil Kenneth Mendoza

“There were [a lot of] sacrifices to be made; most of the time I only had 3 hours of sleep… I even broke down because of mental and physical fatigue,” - Neil Kenneth Mendoza
