An MS In Software Engineering – The Next Step In My Professional Career

Knowledge has no boundaries. I believe that a student must absorb as much of it as every day of his life. Working with electronic components has been a lifelong desire. It all started back when a mechanic was working on our TV. Still at a tender age when curiosity for things tends to be at a higher level, I was amazed at the fact that the magic that caused the TV to show cartoons on it, was in fact, due to the combination of various small things on a green board, which I later came to know were transistors, resistors etc. placed on a single chip. My interest in electronics started as mere curiosity during my childhood and has grown since then which soon developed into career interest. The need to know more drove me to join Electronics and Communication. I present this statement which provides a concise description of my qualifications, my goals and aspirations.

I possess immense quest for knowledge which enabled me to secure 73.5% at schooling level. I have always shown threshold competence and interest in mathematics and Physical Sciences. So I have opted them at my pre university level (10+2) course. My command over them helped me to clear the State Education Board exam with 79.2%. My strong hold on mathematics and physics help me to get an admission in Vidya Jyothi Institute of technology which is one of the reputed and good college in our state.

As a fresh entrant at the undergraduate level, I chose my career in Electronics &Communications Engineering to ensure a sound technological base. I remained an active student in many different activities in the college. I thoroughly learnt all my Electronics and Communication subjects, and in addition mastered my computer and technical skills on MATLAB, Basic C, C++, Java, and Kiel. I also did programming on 8051 and 8086 as a part of my curriculum. I attended a workshop on Ethical hacking which is one of the reason participated In 6 Days Workshop On ”MICROSOFT AZURE” held at vidya jyothi institute of technology conducted by Microsoft. These workshops motivated me towards software engineering in which I could learn and develop myself. I participated in 2 days workshop on “NETWORKING” held at VJIT conducted by Naresh computers. These above attributes helped be to grab a job in one of the reputed companies in the world. After graduation I am working as analyst in Cognizant since 9 months.

I have done my Mini Project on “Super Sensitive Industrial Security System With60DB Siren And Auto Dialer” because security is primary concern everywhere and for everyone. Every person wants his home, industry etc. to be secured. This project describes a security alarm system that can monitor an industry and home. This is a simple and useful security system and easy to install. The uniqueness of this project is not only alerting the neighbors by siren, but it also dials a mobile number which is already programmed into the system. I have done my Major Project on “Performance Analysis Of OFDM using 4PSK, 8PSK & 16PSK” in which OFDM stands for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing .It is a special type of multicarrier modulation scheme. In it a high rate data stream is converted into a number of low rate data streams that are transmitted over parallel narrow band channels that can be easily equalized and thus it is utilized for high data rate transmission in delay dispersive environments. It reduces the interference effects, distortion effects, and multipath delay effects during data transmission and reception. Due to these advantages use of OFDM has become very popular in present day wireless technology.

I was a player college Kabbadi and Basketball team participating in inter -college tournaments. We secured gold Medal consecutively for three years. We also participated in national level Inter College tournaments and we were ranked 2nd. I have a natural leadership attitude (Captain of University Kabbadi Team).

I am an All Rounder with excellent technical, managerial and diversified roles. I have excellent communication skills acquired through several public speaking activities including giving presentations, seminars and conducting talks and workshops. All this exposure has shaped me into a good team player, an effective communicator, an initiator, a creative thinker and a fast learner. I also developed the virtues like self-confidence and optimism.

After having meticulously gone through the curriculum and the university website, I have a conviction that an MS in Software Engineering at your university is an ideal platform for my professional career. So I am eager to do my MS from Software Engineering Department which provides a quality education. The US Higher Education System integrates the best elements of tradition and modernity. Besides, it gives me appropriate value to my investment. The universities in US provide internationally recognized qualifications of highest standard.

I am confident goal oriented and self-motivated individual with a strong organizational capabilities. Therefore, I truly feel that the most natural way to justify my passion to pursue a Master's Degree in Software Engineering at your university. I would regard my admission with a great responsibility of obligation to work hard. I look forward to a fruitful and worthwhile period of study and assure you that my interest and dedication will be reflected in my course work at your esteemed University.

With this statement of my objectives I hope you will be able to evaluate my abilities and merits finding me a capable student for the program. I hope to be a valuable addition to your university and will do my best to make my contribution.
