Statement of Purpose for a Masters in Computer Science

Watching closely to my father's work in the field of electronics and computer played a crucial role as my mind molded towards this technical studies. The programming courses like QBASIC, Visual Basic 5 introduced during my school days helped me understand how computers can be programmed and useful in real life. These courses intensified my interests towards logics and mathematics. My keen interest for learning new ideas and inner desire to reach the degree of excellence in the field of mathematics and logics made me realize that Engineering is the field where I can blend my skill and passion to create innovative ideas. My intense hard work, strong determination and passion for mathematics and logics paid off when I got the opportunity to study Bachelor’s Degree of Computer Engineering in my own country’s pioneer engineering institute, Institute of Engineering (IOE), Pulchowk Campus, Tribhuvan University.

My interest in the field of Computer Science and my eagerness to pursue Masters in the field strengthened when I came across the University of xxxx website for Computer Science. I intend to participate in the ongoing research in the campus. I am sure that the peerless faculty, the excellent facilities and the stimulating academic environment among the students of the University of xxx will prove immensely fruitful and facilitate my development as an individual researcher in my field. In conclusion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for enabling me to express myself. I would be very thankful if I am offered an admission in your esteemed university.

This school of thought drives me to pursue graduate studies with an objective of enhancing my technical, intellectual as well as philosophical understanding of computer science. I feel absolutely ready for the challenge, mental as well as academic that graduate studies pose. I take pride in describing my hitherto exciting journey of computer science. I joined bachelors in computer science in 2010. Since then I have benefited from the breadth of my curriculum which introduced me to various facets of Computer Science with challenging opportunities and in turn equipped me with a sound fundamental knowledge base in various disciplines and standards.

After the 10th grade I was motivated to take Computer Science as specialization in Senior High School (11th and 12th). In 12th grade, I secured 85.5% in Computer Science. Though I come from a family of Accounts and Finance professionals, I decided to follow my passion and took admission in Pune Institute of Computer Technology (PICT), a renowned college for Bachelors in Information Technology. After I joined PICT for my Bachelors’ program, I was exposed to an advanced curriculum, a well-equipped computer laboratory and acquired expertise and knowledge from the highly qualified teaching staff. During the four-year program in Information Technology, I learnt several programming languages including C, C++, Java, Assembly (usin... ... middle of paper ... ...ollege.

From my childhood till today, my most remarkable attributes have been my curiosity to learn new topics. My avid interest for learning new ideas, when blended with my inner desire to reach a degree of excellence in every piece of work I execute, enabled me to acquire substantial knowledge on various aspects of nature and technology, furthermore leading me through a successful educational career. During my early ages in school, I was introduced to MS-DOS, ‘BASIC’ language and on how computers can be practiced. From then, I became fascinated about computers. Though I was exposed to more of theoretical aspects of computers than practical aspects in my last three years of high school, an extensive foundation in all the fields of computer science began after I joined the Bachelor of Engineering program at a university which provided outstanding faculty, splendid laboratory facilities, advanced curriculum which keeps us acquainted with the latest changes in the field of computers and a highly ambitious environment provided me with a broad exposure to the core computer subjects with proper practical training.

I took up Electronics and Electrical as my discipline from CVR College of Engineering, affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, one of the premier institutes in India and was graduated with 65.96%. Comfortable with the tools like MATLAB, PSPICE, PSIM, MSOffice, Operating Systems like Windows7/8/XP/2003 Professional Experience Working as a Software Engineer at MphasiS, an HP Company since July 2011 with technical proficiency in C, ORACLE and JAVA programming languages Why Masters? The 4 years of undergraduate education have been a great learning and enriching process for me. ... ... middle of paper ... ... my interests. This particular course curriculum will surely help me to attend my future goal.

The novel influenced my interests towards computer science as a career path, prompting me to try my hand at puzzles, anagrams, and problem solving. My natural aptitude in these skills gradually developed into a flair for programming and love for codes. I am able to envision a rewarding career in computer science for myself, one that aligns with my skills and passion. The curriculum at my undergraduate university gave me a comprehensive knowledge of the gamut of computer science disciplines, such as Data Structures, Algorithm Analysis and design, Data mining, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Networking, and Computer Architecture. These courses in turn have inspired me to pursue interdisciplinary graduate studies with research..

Innovation and Perfection is what I think about all the time and this thought urges me to earn a Master’s degree. I got introduced to the field of Computers via Games. But, I started to see something beyond games, I realized they are software. Well-built software will help solve many complex real world problems with ease. This multiplied my curiosity and made me focus on the field of Computer Science.

I need specialized training beyond my undergraduate level to have a competitive edge and help me keep pace with the generation of problems and product applications. Masters will give me the depth of knowledge and exposure and will also act as a catalyst in my career. Hence, I want to pursue graduate studies at a university which has an excellent masters program in all the fields of computer science. NJIT satisfies these criteria perfectly. The research work being performed by the faculty there appeals to me.

Now, I believe that the study of computer science will nourish my acquired knowledge and provide expertise in problem solving and programming skills. When I was in higher secondary school, physics was one of the most mesmerizing subject to me. I had excitement to go deeper into my subject of interest that motivated me for setting goals to become a successful engineer. I had keen interest for learning new ideas and inner desire to reach a degree of excellence.
