Since my first introduction to the technology of computers, I was quite fascinated and this fascination has
developed a latent interest for knowing more and increasing my knowledge in this field. From the days of
my school, I had developed this interest and I always updated myself to the latest software and literature in
this field.

However, after my higher secondary examination, I was not able to get into the computer field. So I had to
compromise with my high desire and hence sought admission to B.E degree in metallurgy. This had to be
done keeping in mind that I have to graduate in any field, so as to seek my higher goals.

I graduated from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (Gujarat) with distinction in the final year.
During my four-year stay in Baroda, I never missed any opportunity of updating myself in the field of my
interest.

To put it briefly, I joined ‘Lakhotiya Computer Center’- software training institute which is affiliated to
Central College, UK, one of the oldest and most reputed private colleges of higher education in London, for
software courses. The program is of 15 months duration and I will be completing it in the month of
November ’98. The program has enhanced my knowledge in the field of my desire. I have learned the
modules like Dos, MS-Office FoxPro, Hardware concepts, Internet concepts Unix, Oracle and I have yet to
complete one more module of programming in ‘C’ and a project undertaken in oracle.

India is gearing to enter the twenty first century as one of the highly developed and industrialized nation on
the globe. The adoption of liberalization along with the phenomenon of globalization has triggered a rapid
industrial growth and the phenomenon of globalization has triggered a rapid industrial growth and
technological upgradation. India is going to be one of the largest market and booming industrial center.
This will create new opportunities especially in the field of computer technology. Hence, I wish to take the
opportunity of securing an MS Degree in computer science and avail the opportunity of serving my country
and people.

My aim of seeking admission in US is to avail the advantages of securing the best of knowledge and the
opportunity of the best academic facilities and environment.

I am assured that your university has excellent and strong foundation and the best of infrastructure that will
bring the best out of me and help me achieve my goal of being a computer scientist and serve my country to
the best of my abilities and patriotism. I hope that I am given this opportunity to fulfill my long cherished
dream.

Your kind consideration of my case will be highly acknowledged.
