How to write an Statement of purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE(SOP)

The ever-increasing applications of computers in technological development demand more efficient networking. Coming from a background in Electronics and Communication Engineering, I have developed a fascination to probe into the arena of Networking in general and Computer Networks, in particular, possess a challenging task in interconnecting PC and Laptops. This cultivated my interest to take Computer Engineering as my major in my graduate studies.

There is a saying, which says, “The only thing permanent in life is change”. This perfectly holds true to the world of Computer Engineering where novel ideas are not a novelty. It is this novelty that entices me to this field and gives me a deep sense of professional pride. In this context, I would like to pursue my graduation in Computer Engineering, which not only supplements the knowledge that I possess but also provides a strong platform for my future career goals.

I have always believed that one should never give up the habit of asking questions and this habit has been an important facet of my creativity. I seek to invent new ideas by applying the basic principles of an existing theory in uncommon ways.

However, I found that I have no uncertainty in proceeding along a path that I have been planning over the last 3 years. I have originated from a family where the highest priority was always given to good education. Blessed with schooling from one of the premier institutions of India, I was strongly motivated to pass my senior school exams with honors.

After successful completion of my school studies, I got admitted to Sree Kavitha Engineering College affiliated with Jawaharlal Technological University, which is one of the reputed universities at the global level. I took Electronics and Communication as my major in the undergraduate program. During the course of the study, I was exposed to various subjects like ‘C’, Computer Networks, Java and Data Structures, etc.

My expertise in Computer programming could be seen from the fact that I got 93% in the practical lab of Programming and Data Structures. I took additional courses in programming languages like C, C++, and JAVA.

The interconnection; management and maintenance of networks helped me to get acquainted with the subject of Networking at high levels. Having acquired reasonable knowledge about the OSI reference model, I am passionately eager to learn the subject in depth. I was fascinated and got myself involved in this cyber world.

My prodigious appetite for knowledge started from the moment, I was trained to write the series of English alphabets on the sands of the grounds of my kinder garden school. This thrust spurred me to work assiduously till this part of my career and this will perpetually continue to stir me in achieving greater goals. I am fully aware of the fact that I have miles to go in this long-distance race for acquiring higher knowledge. Although I believe that there is no substitute for hard work and strong working knowledge. Training in a reputed university like yours will give a big boost to my aspirations and academic pursuits

Coming from a family where everyone has excelled in academic achievements, I have developed a keen desire to pursue my graduate studies and research in Computer Engineering in a university of excellence, which will provide me an opportunity to work with the most modern and sophisticated equipment and the intellectual environment by which I would be able to realize my dreams of exploring and contributing new vistas in the chosen field. Your institute, which is reputed to possess the above, besides having a host of eminent professors on its faculty gives me a wonderful opportunity to hone my skills and acquire knowledge.

I believe that “Accomplishments lie within the reach of those who reach beyond themselves”. I am confident of making my own humble contribution to enhancing the image and reputation of your esteemed university in the years to come. Financial assistance from your university will give me a tremendous morale boost in this long pursuit to achieve excellence. I eagerly look forward to being a part of your academic community.
