Statement of purpose

In India, virtually bursting at its seams with a population of a billion, one was
resigned to waiting in line for most services from cradle to grave. The advent of
computers has started a metamorphosis, which has quickened the pace of life. This has
kindled in me a strong desire to be a part of the ongoing ‘Computer Revolution’.

Science and related fields have always fascinated me. With Computer Science and
Information technology penetrating all walks of life, my search for a suitable course of
undergraduate study ended with Computer Engineering.

Through my education, I have gained valuable experience, especially from my final year
project. My project titled ‘Implementation Of HTTPS Protocol’ which implements the
http secure protocol which helps in secure communication between the client and the
server.The project is done on C platform.The project is implemented in LINUX.. It
covered the concepts surrounding SSL\TLS architecture. These major pieces of work
have narrowed my areas of specific interest to Operating Systems and Computer
Networking, which together have made it possible to provide information at the tip of our
hands, anytime, anywhere. My desire to learn more about computers has also caused me
to go above and beyond the requirements of my degree.

My interest in Computers does not stop at just acquiring information and

experience through education. I am also very enthusiastic about sharing it with others. I
voluntarily conducted two Visual Basic workshops for the Computer Chapter of the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) at our college where my teaching
skills were greatly appreciated. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to doing
similar work in the future.

The need for education and training continues throughout life. Advances in
information technology are so rapid that those who are not able to ride the wave of
change are often left far behind. I do not want to be left in the dust and believe that a
good, sound educational background and the opportunity to do independent research at
the Master’s level would give me a head start and enable me to exploit these advances in
technology in the most constructive manner. My current academic goal is to complete a
Masters Program in Computer Science, which is a stepping stone towards my ambition of
achieving significant technological advancement in this field. My academic record
coupled with my project experience gives me the confidence to successfully complete,
and amply benefit from your reputed program and state-of-the-art research facilities.

On completion of my graduate studies, I would like to pursue a career in a reputed

American corporation to gain practical experience and to imbibe and assimilate the well-
known American work ethic. The knowledge, skills and experience gained in America
will equip me to take up the unique challenges and tremendous opportunities of
improving the quality of computerized systems in the next millennium.
