STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the
impossible- Arthur C. Clarke is what I have always believed in and it drove me further into
the land of answers and questions yet to be answered. The immense possibility of trying out
and the instant knowledge gained from the outcome that fosters one to further analyze a
rationale in question, is what I find most appealing about Electronics. Keeping up an
inquisitive and explorative attitude always leads to a constant learning process. Cognizance
and proper training are very essential to succeed in todays highly competitive world. The
best place where I can achieve this is The United States of America the undeniable leader in
creating and bringing out new products and processes. To achieve my goals, I would like to
pursue my Masters program in Electronics.
The ever changing borderline of science and technology always kindled the fascination in
me. Right from my childhood, I had a propensity for science and appreciation of innovative
ideas. In the pursuit of knowledge, I had always adopted a rigorous approach in order to
grasp the intricacies of a given subject. Though my aggregate in Bachelors program is little
low (76%), I would like to put forth my extra curriculas in support. My innate strengths have
been my quantitative and analytical abilities, which instilled in me a special interest for
Mathematics and science. I secured 89% in my secondary education and was one of the
toppers in the school. My disposition towards Mathematics and Science led me to choose
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my major for 10+2 where I secured 90.3%.
During my undergraduate course, I was strong in subjects like Signals and Systems,
Electromagnetic waves and Transmission lines, Analog and Digital communication,
Embedded systems, Microprocessors and Microcontrollers where I dealt with issues related
to their instruction sets, parallel processing, their programming, priorities and control, etc.
which were quite interesting and required pragmatic thinking. These subjects infused in me
the enthusiasm to deal with more concepts of electronics in real life situations. One of the
reasons behind my fascination towards Communication field is due to the vital role it has
played in mans development starting with the early age to the present day and it is this
power that has let left me greedy wanting to know more. When I was nave to technological
world, it amazed me that a person at one end of the globe could not just speak but could see
the other person on the other end of the globe within the snap of fingers. Today I know that
even with all these innovations theres a still a lot more yet to be discovered, researched and
progressed beyond ones wildest imagination.
My major project also dealt with Embedded Systems where I was the head of the Hardware
Development Team. This project mainly helped me to develop my skills related to, embedded
systems as it played the major role in the development of the project. This project has
actually given me immense practical knowledge and made me realize that everything we
study in theory might not be that easy to actualize and implement in practice. Through my

paper presentations on Wireless Technology I made my deep understanding of the subject

evident and was lauded by professors. My seminar on Innovation and growth in
Communication field through the Centuries earned me encomiums and gave me the boost
that I needed. Learning to work with softwares like Mat lab, Keil and Xilinx, has increased
my zeal toward learning concepts and developing their applications.
The enthusiasm in me to explore the world of possibilities did not just constrain itself with
academics, but played its part in helping me discover myself. Working in core team for
SWECHA (a free software workshop by Free Software Moment) has opened my up my mind
and heart to realize my true potential and the leader in me. Organizing fests and cultural
events has given confidence and taught me how planning ahead can make things much
simpler. Working with people around me has taught me the power of team spirit and to be
adaptable and the amicable nature in me has made this easier.
My Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering has opened up many
possibilities and challenges for the reason that science and technology are the roots of many
interesting science and technical activities. My learning of the core subjects of ECE helped
me to understand and analyze that expansion of my knowledge in Electronics would develop
my innate skills and enhance my level of understanding of current practical problems which I
feel is very important. Having done an stimulating Bachelors course in Electronics and
Communication Engineering, I would like to put in this knowledge to pursue my Masters in
Electronics Engineering. This would give me the leading edge in technology and the practical
information I require.
I personally feel that graduate study at your esteemed university is a logical extension of my
endeavors and a major step in the achievement of my objectives. The main reason for
choosing your university is the extensive research going on in my field of interest, presence
of distinguished faculty and stimulating academic environment apart from the fantastic
infrastructure. I have learnt from the departmental website of your university about the
extensive research being undertaken. As seen from the course catalog, there are certain
subjects which interest me like robotics and control, telecommunications and wireless
communications, electro-optics, image processing, computer vision, and VLSI design, etc.
Under your renowned faculty, excellent technical expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, I am
looking forward to obtain a quality education from your university.
I assure you that my commitment, determination and zeal will be mirrored in my course work
and an assistantship under your eminent faculty will uphold my grit to take up the challenge
of a demanding graduate program. My skills in spoken and written English are very good and
I am very confident of handling the teaching duties assigned to me with ease. I hope for a
favorable acceptance of my application with considerable financial assistance and given the
chance I would put my mind and soul to work hard and keep up with the reputation of your
esteemed university. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to express myself.
