Keeping in view that my undergraduate course has been completed, I worked as a

Quality Inspector in Om Muruga Engineering Works (Small scale industry) for

Period of 10 months with salary Package of Rs15000. I am at the crucial stage
wherein I have to decide what I would be doing to improve my career. I have a
great compulsion towards practical industrial work environment and therefore I
wish to pursue graduation study. Also, the changes in Global Industrialization and
Design Engineering have made the role of mechanical engineer a really
indispensable one. It has been my deepest desire to be a part of this rapidly
burgeoning community. With due reverence to the Department and the University,
I pen down this Statement of purpose.

To reach the peaks of perfection, I consider studying in a suitable environment and

a good university with a rewarding research program, where the research facilities
and the faculty at the university are excellent is of utmost necessity.

Right from my schooling I have shown keen interest in mathematics and physics
that enhanced quantitative and analytical skills in me. This strength enabled me to
secure 75.6% in (10th). I passed my senior secondary school with 55% in (HSC)
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, which were my main subjects. The
competitive spirit within me acted as a catalyst in all my academic successes.

Pursuing engineering as my future was a natural consequence because of my

interest towards science and technology. To study in this field, I had to overcome
hurdles, a common entrance examination, which I had to take along with hundreds
of thousands of students, all aspiring to get through. I took up Mechanical
Engineering in ARULMURUGAN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING,THENNILAI,
KARUR affiliated to prestigious ANNA UNIVERSITY as my undergraduate
major because it has tremendous potential to become a dominant force in this
millennium, affecting all walks of human life. I have maintained a clean and
brilliant academic record throughout my years in this course.

The undergraduate study has given me a comprehensive exposure to a wide

spectrum of courses, namely, Design Engineering, Kinematics of Machinery,
Engineering Graphics, Finite Element Analysis, Thermodynamics, Engineering
Mechanics, Robotics, Computer aided Design/Computer aided Manufacturing, etc.
I strongly believe in “learning by doing”. It is the hope of coming up with path
breaking results streaked with an element of uncertainty that makes experimental
results extremely fascinating.

I went beyond the four walls of classroom, during my undergraduate course; I

visited many industries, namely, TEA FACTORY (OOTY), HAL (BANGLORE)
etc., I wanted to get a closer look at the application of Mechanical Engineering. I
presented a good number of technical papers at the national level. I have organized
many technical and cultural events. All these extra-curricular activities have made
me socially accomplished with self-confidence, communicating skills, leadership
qualities and team spirit. I have undertaken two projects in my Bachelor’s Degree.

I as a project leader for the above projects and I learned the practical difficulties in
implementing the task, with the help of limited resources available. With guidance
of technical expertise from my college I successfully completed them in time.

I also participated in various inter-college competitions and in seminars. Lathe

competitions give me an adrenaline rush; I am an active representative from my
college in lathe competitions. I was part of organizing committee in the
department’s weekly co-curricular activities, which bring out a platform for college
students to interact with experts from industry; we organized many seminars and
workshops under the college support. At the same time, to help my dad in
managing transport in our village, as he was busy with his job; I took the financial
responsibility of the transport and have been successfully managing it for the past 4
years.

My objectives of joining a Masters in Science field are very clear-cut. I want to

hone my intellectual abilities; to acquire in-depth competence in my stream of
engineering; to develop individuality and conviviality; to learn for collective good
and expand my horizons of knowledge. After ten years I envision myself as
engaged in a career of manufacturing. I also get immense pleasure from teaching. I
enjoy interacting with people and this leads me to believe that sharing my
knowledge that I gain through my masters in technical background would be a very
rewarding experience. My dream is to apply my gained advanced knowledge in
benefit and service of industry, which needs professionals like me most for its
development.
In this era of technological revolutions, GERMANY has been at the forefront of
pioneering work in the evolution of technology with the industry giants and I hope
to get benefit from this great endeavor. My decision to pursue graduate studies in
your university is a result of lengthy discussions with the faculty. Browsing
through the information brochure and the University's home page, I feel that the
graduate study here holds a lot of promise to me. The breadth and depth of the
courses coupled with a stimulating research environment seem to me the right mix
for seminal work and pioneering research.

I found your esteemed university, known for its great facilities, will be the ideal
place for me to pursue my graduate studies. Interacting with the best minds of the
world will be an enriching experience and this will spur me on, to being the very
best in my field. I eagerly wait for your benevolent act of accepting me into your
fold and granting an admission in Masters in Mechanical Engineering program.
