Hence I request to consider me for being the part of this gratifying and enriching experience of learning with possible financial aid. I want to thank you for this opportunity given to me to express myself.
I first discovered my passion for computers in 1999, when we bought our first household PC. I remember sitting down on occasions waiting for Windows 98 to boot up and the dialup modem to connect to the internet. Although this almost now seems primitive, that technology caused my enthusiasm to understand the inside workings of computers to spark. Since then, I have striven to broaden my knowledge and skills in this area in any way possible.
A fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to take up engineering. The power of research and delivering it for the growth of Society is what makes me interested in the technology side of science. I choose to major Computer science Engineering with an intense urge to delve into this challenging field. During my under graduation program I learned the various fundamentals of Computer science Engineering which together with practical course works reinforced my interest.

After securing 205th rank in All India Entrance Exam, I got admitted in the National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra,INDIA --an institute of national eminence-- one of the top 20 institutes in India. My under-graduate syllabi has exposed me to all the core areas of computer science like data structures and algorithms, software engineering, operating systems, compiler design, automata theory networks and network security. These courses have provided me a good foundation in the core concepts.
Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems are international qualifications, enabling people to work globally, and in a very broad variety of roles. There is steady growth in demand for technically adept and flexible IT graduates. Declining student enrollment, while growth continues in law, medicine, biology, economics, and business; the decline among women is particularly alarming (Klawe and Shneiderman 27). Computer science is now a part of everyone’s daily life through the innovations and technologies it enables. From transforming health care to enabling a more robust national defense, computer science is on the forefront of discovery, driving economic growth and transforming our culture.
Computers and Technology have fascinated me right from my childhood and I have always had it in my mind to choose Information Technology for my engineering. As the years passed my eagerness grew and so did my thirst to attain higher education and now is the perfect time for me to ignite the spark in me. This has given me the courage to analyze the fact that I have a herculean task ahead in order to comprehend an extensive proportion of subject and enjoy it while assimilating the problems.
There are certain instances in my life that stimulated my love for computer science. During my childhood years I saw the computer only as an advanced gaming system, but soon I became aware of the wonders it can perform. Applications like the "Yahoo messenger" and "Orkut" bewildered me. My interest for programming was further intensified by my Computer professor who when I was in 8th standard taught us HTML. Through just a flick of keys, I could create and modify my own web-pages. When it said "Hello Natansh" for the first time, I felt like I was commanding the computer to perform a certain task for me. In the 11th standard, I was introduced to Java and to the concepts of databases, these piqued my interest and made me choose Information Technology stream for B.Tech.

If the nineteenth century was an era of the Industrial revolution in Europe, I would say that computers and Information Technology have dominated since the twentieth century. The world today is a void without computers, be it healthcare, commerce or any other field, the industry won’t thrive without Information Technology and Computer Science. This ever-growing field of technology has aroused interest in me since my childhood. After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Science motivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning, have always been my favorite subjects since childhood.
...search at your university seem to be parallel to my interests. Given a chance, I am confident that I will exploit my potential to the fullest.
