Statement of Purpose

My aspiration is to pursue a graduate program in the esteemed xxxx University. My

subject of interest is Computer Science which is vast and rapidly changing. I strongly
believe that the university offers the flexibility needed for an in-depth understanding
of the subject in all possible ways and helps me reach my goals.

During my early ages in school, I was introduced to ‘BASIC’ language and on how
computers can be used and programmed. From then, I became fascinated about
computers and their programming. In high school, I took part in a discussion group
(Computer Club) of students and school teachers which motivated me to select
computer science as my career. My under-graduate syllabi at GITAM, one of the most
prestigious institutions in the country, exposed me to all the core areas of computer
science like operating systems, relational database management systems, networks
and network security, data structures and algorithms, software engineering. These
courses have given me a good foundation in the core concepts.

The first year lectures of my undergraduate were about freshman courses which I was
already familiar with, however, in consequent years, the versatility and facile nature
of Computers made it even more interesting and really left me spellbound and
enthralled. This solidified my interest in Computer science and exposed me to the
enormous potential of this developing field. As the depth of studying about computers
increased, it helped me to widen my background in various concepts. I also paid
special attention to vital subjects I would deal with in my professional life.

Besides theoretical work, I gained practical knowledge in Computer Science through

internships and various project works. My first hands-on experience was in Industrial
Training at ‘Symbiosys Technologies’, India. I had practical experience in .Net
coding and Testing. I also gained knowledge on Web Technologies, Ethical Hacking,
Data Mining, Data Warehousing, SDLC, Networking, Internet and Six Sigma
concepts. Currently, I am doing Network Security project work for GITAM
University.

These experiences were invaluable for me since I learned the serviceability and
functionality of various real world applications. There I grasped the application of
computer technologies in various sections. Working in such outstanding places
broadened my vision of Computer Science and how diverse its developmental stages
are. Along with the coursework and practical experience, I try to follow the
technological innovations and new design techniques by reading technical periodicals
and attending various seminars and conferences.
Aside from the academic life, I like to participate in the social club of the college.
These social activities have improved my interpersonal skills and enabled me to
appreciate the value of how precious it is to participate in an activity whose members
come from different backgrounds. Furthermore, I am very keen on giving private
lectures to sophomore year students to help them in understanding courses and in
forming careers.

My ultimate goal in my career is to make a commendable contribution to the

computing world either by starting an innovative venture or doing research which
would change the dimensions of future computing and the way we perceive
computers. Now I have determined that a dedicated study on Computer Science will
enable me to aggregate all my previous knowledge and experience in the field and
encourage me in achieving my career goal. I am confident that my academic records
and practical knowledge combined with my eagerness to do research exhibit the
perseverance and zeal required to pursue a Master’s Degree in NAME THE
UNIVERSITY.
