STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes. --Benjamin Disraeli This maxim is an important motivating factor for me as I have found this a great guiding force and a ladder for success in various spheres of activities. And today I avail this opportunity to present before you a committed, diligent and resolute student striving to pursue a Masters program in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I believe in or!ing hard and unflinchingly to achieve my aim irrespective of obstacles that come in life. This unsha!able faith in my abilities, a passion to or! hard have made me un avering in my approach and provided me the boost to my morale. I strive to or! for the best in my chosen field to the best of my potential. My encouraging and supportive parents have al ays believed in this maxim and have stressed on a holistic approach to education. "o I have been fortunate that I have been able to reali#e my educational dreams to a large extent. $ully motivated and engrossed in their domain of expertise, my parents provided me an academic environment in the family. Ever since my childhood, I as fascinated by the orld of electronics and computers. My first tryst ith electronics as the television. I %uestioned myself ho does it or!. &o it receives the signals and hat components ma!e up a television. $rom those days I had an innate desire to discover hat electronics as all about. &o ever, 'ordon Moores principle, Transistor density in integrated circuits doubles every year( hich I studied in my )*"I sub+ect at undergraduate college !indled an interest in me to !no more in detail about the chip design. I noticed that the smaller the si#e of the chip, the more complex ill be its operation and e%ually complex ill be the functionality it supports. The deeper I foray into the chip design aspects, the more I visuali#e the intrinsic challenges faced by the chip design and manufacturing industry. This fact coupled ith my immense interest in the )*"I ,esign has enhanced my desire further. To strive, to see!, to find, and not to yield(, these famous ords by Tennyson, sum up my philosophy of life. I have al ays strived for excellence, and this %uest has no inspired me to pursue an M" in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from your university. In the long run I ish to be a successful professional in the field of )*"I. As a student of Electronics - .ommunication Engineering, I too! deep interest in sub+ects li!e Analog and ,igital electronic circuits, Microprocessors - Micro/controllers, and I. ,esign. My natural li!ing for electronic circuits and the inspiration provided by various technical articles and papers led me to learn )*"I ,E"I'0, )&,* and )E1I*2' &,* coding. It boosted my interests and as a result, I chose to do my pro+ect or! on Implementation of 34/bit Microprocessor using )&,*( using 5ilinx I"E tool and I have successfully implemented it along

ith my counterparts. I al ays believe in 6*earning by doing hich has al ays interested me in understanding the practical aspects of any sub+ect. In my pursuit of ac%uiring real orld !no ledge, I am undergoing internship on )*"I 7hysical ,esign at Institute of "ilicon "ystems, &yderabad. I have an interest to garner !no ledge of digital hard are design. The pro+ect that I did during my under graduation helped me bolster my practical understanding of theoretical concepts. I developed a deep penchant to ards )*"I through these initiatives. I have al ays been a firm believer that a strong educational bac!ground is an ideal platform for a successful career. I al ays believed in participating in various extracurricular activities in spite of rigorous academic schedule. I am an active member of college technical society and organi#ed various technical %ui##es and or!shops under college technical society. I have given a seminar at my college on )*"I ,E"I'0 $*28. These activities have led to the development of a multifaceted personality and have e%uipped me ith strong interpersonal s!ills. 9esides aiding me to function efficiently and confidently at the helm of the affairs, these extracurricular activities have given me a platform for effective time management, hich I believe ill prove phenomenal in building the foundation of a successful career. 9esides all these I have e%uipped myself ith proficiency on &ard are description languages, &ard are Architecture, ,esign and 1T* coding of Modules and Technical "oft ares such as TA00E1 E,A, 5ilinx I"E, Model"IM and .adence )irtuoso. The :nited "tates is the leading country in the field of )*"I and the academic institutions in the :"A are held in high esteem orld ide. I aspire to pursue higher studies in :"A because of its dynamic atmosphere and state/of/art facilities hich ill shape me to be a consummate professional. The flexibility of the curriculum ill give me broad/based education that I need to iden the baili ic! of my !no ledge and s!ills. The diversity of student body from across the globe ill open my mind to ne influences, ideas and innovative ays of problem solving. The orld is becoming a global village here opportunities for or! are transcending physical space. I ant my graduate education to culminate into a doctoral research and, further, I foresee myself as a post/doctoral researcher or!ing ith an academic or research/based professional organi#ation. My vision of an ideal +ob is one here resources are unlimited and ne challenges are to be overcome each day. Engaging in scientific research ould let me put all my !no ledge to the test and learn something ne each day. I ould also be able to or! ith bright and li!e/ minded people or guide +unior researchers and spread my !no ledge, both of hich I find extremely enriching and re arding.

8hile my performance in college exams, standardi#ed tests and co/curricular activities indicate my competence, the research I did as part of my final year pro+ect has enhanced my analytical s!ills to solve complex engineering problems. "tudying at your esteemed university ill give me an opportunity to interact ith some of the orld;s brightest minds and or!ing in a highly demanding environment ill help get the best out of me. I am a are of the standards expected out of students at your esteemed :niversity and, !no ing that I have been dedicated to ards my ventures in the past, I believe I have the aptitude, resilience and resolution to meet the same. All this, together ith a first rate faculty that encourages research in my area of interest ill augment my research potential and, ultimately, help me reali#e the goals that I have set for myself.
