STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Having learnt from the past, I live in the present with an eye on the future.
My foremost dream in life is to be acknowledged and congratulated for my
academic achievements. This desire is the main motivation in me wanting to
pursue my masters at your esteemed university. I want to reach the zenith in
Computing and Information Technology space. In this Ever-changing world of
Computer Technology, where each new day sees a spate of new concepts and
trends emerging, I want to stay on fast track. Masters degree at your university
would not only provide me subject matter expertise but also thorough research
oriented study would help me lay foundation for fulfillment of my dream.

Computer Science was a pretty natural choice for me. Ever since my
childhood, I was always curious to know what goes on inside a computer. I was
keen about what allows a computer to know how to perform the tasks it is given .I
realized an inclination towards CS in my middle school, where we were taught
basic languages such as BASIC, HTML, LOGO and Database, which was quite
new and interesting to learn .I was awarded several merit certificates during my
schooling later on, in this field, which ignited a spark in me to lead my career
towards Computers.

I finished my schooling from SAI SRINIVASA BRILLIANT GRAMMAR
HIGH SCHOOL where I learnt to study things by understanding them rather than
just trying to remember things and putting it on paper. My teachers motivated me
from the start, nurturing my interest in studies and I was one among the top 5
students in my batch. I have also participated in extracurricular activities such as
Quiz, Elocutions and played various Sports as I was always taught that a fit
physique has a healthy mind.

It was during the final phase of my schooling that I met my destiny - the
world of computers. Miracles made by the use of computers in every field from
basic agriculture to sophisticated industries created this confidence in me. With
this interest I selected Computer Science & Information Technology as my area of
study.

In my Undergraduate studies, I have benefited from the breadth of Guru
Nanak Engineering College, JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL
UNIVERSITYS syllabi content that has given me a comprehensive exposure to
the core areas of Computer Science and a strong conceptual understanding of the
same. In these three and half years of study, I have strived to maintain an approach
of expending independent effort in all my endeavors.
For my B.TECH project, I decided to concentrate on my other area of interest
viz. Information Retrieval. Im attempting to evolve a technique that, when
employed in a search engine, will maximize the comprehensiveness and precision
of the query listings. My project work has introduced me to a vast body of
pertinent research.
In conclusion, I would like to add that the essence of University education lies in
the synergetic relationship between the student and his department. I feel that
graduate study at your University will be the most logical extension of my
academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be
grateful to you if Im accorded the opportunity to pursue my graduate studies with
financial assistance at your institution and am able to justify your faith in me.
