1. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Keeping in view that my undergraduate course would be completed in a few
months, I am at the crucial stage wherein I have to decide what I would be doing to
improve my career. I have a great compulsion towards practical industrial work
environment and therefore I wish to pursue graduation study. Also, the sweeping
changes in Global Industrialization and Design Engineering have made the role of
mechanical engineer a really indispensable one. It has been my deepest desire to be a
part of this rapidly burgeoning community. With due reverence to the Department and
the University, I pen down this Statement of purpose.
To reach the peaks of perfection, I consider studying in a suitable environment and a
good university with a rewarding research program, where the research facilities and
the faculty at the university are excellent is of utmost necessity.
Right from my schooling I have shown keen interest in mathematics and physics that
enhanced quantitative and analytical skills in me. The competitive spirit within me acted
as a catalyst in all my academic successes.
Pursuing engineering as my future was a natural consequence because of my love
towards science and technology. To study in this field, I had to overcome hurdles, a
common entrance examination, which I had to take along with hundreds of thousands of
students, all aspiring to get through. I took up Mechanical Engineering in DRK
INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY affiliated to prestigious JAWAHARLAL
NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL University as my undergraduate major because it has
tremendous potential to become a dominant force in this millennium, affecting all walks
of human life. I have maintained a clean and brilliant academic record throughout my
years in this course.
The undergraduate study has given me a comprehensive exposure to a wide spectrum
of courses, namely, Design Engineering, Kinematics of Machinery, Engineering
Graphics, Finite Element Analysis, Thermodynamics, Mechanics of Solids, Robotics,
Computer aided Design/Computer aided Manufacturing, etc. I strongly believe in
“learning by doing”. It is the hope of coming up with path breaking results streaked with
an element of uncertainty that makes experimental results extremely fascinating.
I went beyond the four walls of the classroom, during my undergraduate course; I
visited many industries, namely, Aditya presitech pvt lmtd and Bhel etc. I wanted to get
a closer look at the application of Mechanical Engineering. I presented a good number
of technical papers at the national level. I have organized many technical and cultural
events. All these extra-curricular activities have made me socially accomplished with
self-confidence, communicating skills, leadership qualities and team spirit. I have
undertaken two projects in final year of my Bachelor’s Degree.
2. I as a project leader for the above projects and I learned the practical difficulties in
implementing the task, with the help of limited resources available. With guidance of
technical expertise from my college I successfully completed them in time.
I was elected as the president of the department forum for my performance, leadership
qualities, communication skills and organizing capabilities (I have successfully
organized many events). I also participated in various inter-college competitions and in
seminars. Robotic competitions give me an adrenaline rush; I am an active
representative from my college in robotic competitions and also stood best at some
stages. I was part of organizing committee in the department’s weekly co-curricular
activities, which bring out a platform for college students to interact with experts from
industry; we organized many seminars and workshops under the college support. I
stood best in robotic national level competition held at my college. I managed at the
same time, to help my dad in managing agriculture lands in our village, as he was busy
with his job; I took the financial responsibility of the farms and have been successfully
managing it for the past 3 years.
My objectives of joining a Masters in Science field are very clear-cut. I want to hone
my intellectual abilities; to acquire in-depth competence in my stream of engineering; to
develop individuality and conviviality; to learn for collective good and expand my
horizons of knowledge. After ten years I envision myself as engaged in a career of
manufacturing. I also get immense pleasure from teaching. I enjoy interacting with
people and this leads me to believe that sharing my knowledge that I gain through my
masters in technical background would be a very rewarding experience. My dream is to
apply my gained advanced knowledge in benefit and service of industry, which needs
professionals like me most for its development.
In this era of technological revolutions, Australia has been at the forefront of pioneering
work in the evolution of technology with the industry giants and I hope to get benefit
from this great endeavor. My decision to pursue graduate studies in your university is a
result of lengthy discussions with the faculty. Browsing through the information brochure
and the University's home page, I feel that the graduate study here holds a lot of
promise to me. The breadth and depth of the courses coupled with a stimulating
research environment seem to me the right mix for seminal work and pioneering
research.
I found your esteemed university, known for its great facilities, will be the ideal place for
me to pursue my graduate studies. Interacting with the best minds of the world will be
an enriching experience and this will spur me on, to being the very best in my field. I
eagerly wait for your benevolent act of accepting me into your fold and granting an
admission in Masters in Mechanical Engineering program.
