STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

As it is said, the universe is the most mystical subject to study. The more you try to explore, you realize
that the less you know about it. Whenever I gaze at the night sky, I feel myself connected to some other
world. I wish to know more about it, more about how mankind can surpass its own limits in
understanding it. This incessant desire for gaining in-depth knowledge of the dynamic and ever-evolving
field of aerospace has motivated me to pursue a Master of Technology in Aerospace Engineering.

During my childhood, my father, a modern Renaissance man, introduced me to the various

advancements taking place around the world in many different fields. This kindled my interest in science
and research. He always encouraged me to explore, break boundaries, and take chances to reach
success. While pursuing my Bachelor's course in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, I realized that
what I have learnt so far has not quenched my thirst for knowledge but fueled it more. Hence, obtaining
a Master's degree has become imperative for me in order to become proficient in this field, to realize
my goal of being a part of ground-breaking research in Aerospace and work with some of the best minds
in the research industry. I wanted to pursue Aerospace in my undergraduate years, but there was no
university in my state that offered it as a major. Therefore, I had to opt for studying Electrical
Engineering at one of the best colleges in my state. I have been introduced to many core electrical
subjects like Power electronics, control systems, Power systems. Though I have become proficient in
these subjects in the course of completing my Bachelor's program, I believe that I still need to take this
knowledge further and use it in the field of Aerospace. By doing this, I hope to open new doors of
innovation and creativity in the field.

I have always been keen on continuously upgrading my skills and knowledge, as I believe that engineers
should keep themselves updated on the latest developments in existing as well as emerging
technologies. I learnt C programme during high school, which later helped me to easily understand the
basics of assembly language and other programming concepts involved in MATLAB and the power
system simulation.

The strong graduate program in the Aerospace Engineering department, the preeminent faculty, the
extensive research facilities, and the bright student population have all been the key factors that have
influenced my decision of pursuing a Master's degree from the IIT BOMBAY. Being a part of the ongoing
research work in the department will really stimulate my innate technical and analytical abilities, expose
me to the latest technologies, and give me the competitive edge to achieve my goals. Hence, to
contribute to the research at the IIT B and culminate my own intellectual development, I would like to
apply for an M.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering.
