My interest in pursuing MS in the United States is underscored by my desire to be a part of the graduate program at your esteemed university where the research facilities and the faculty are par excellent. After carefully going through your university's web site, I found your programs exactly matching my interests in the field of Mechanical Engineering. I feel I can fulfil my aim of excelling in research work in this field by being a part of your esteemed university.
I did my schooling from “Jyothi Vidyalaya High School” run by Holy Cross Sisters who are world renowned for their paramount educational institutions and social service activities. The apt environment at the school and the encouragement provided by the teachers kindled the spirit in me to study the functioning of various mechanical gadgets and explore the field of mechanical engineering. I consequently developed a practical approach to science and participated in various science fairs where an enthusiast’s originality is revealed. I always used to be among the top rankers of the school.
My ardor for mathematics and science and also my innate quantitative and analytical skills made me opt for the groups’ “mathematics” and “physics” in 10+2. As I have a strong belief in practicality and a passion for research work, I had a strong aspiration for pursuing a professional course. So, after completing my intermediate I got an Admission into “Vidya Jyothi Institute of technology”, affiliated to J.N.T.U (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University). This university can be ranked among the top 5% of all the universities in INDIA. The germane ambience of the college campus and the able guidance of the excellent faculty reinvigorated the flair in me and made me perform extremely well in my subjects. Apart from the regular course work, I feel expanding my knowledge in my field of interest is a prerequisite for undertaking a graduate course.
Regarding project works, I have done a project in “Manufacturing and Testing of Gas Turbines” in B.H.E.L(Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited.), a public sector, owned by the central government. This short stint has given me remarkable confidence in myself and prepared me for undertaking any such projects in the future. I’m also given the great opportunity of improvising the functioning of our computerized college library using my programming skills in AUTOCAD.
I have a strong inclination to sports and have the talent to express it. I participated mainly in swimming and athletic competitions and almost always stood in the first three positions. A strong ardency towards different sports enabled me to play the role of a skipper for our school football and cricket teams. I made our team to triumph in football and also in cricket. I’m also having good working knowledge and programming proficiency in AUTOCAD.
I’m particularly interested in pursuing my graduate program in the field of Mechanical Engineering. The field I’m interested is becoming indispensable and of utmost practical importance in every day life. I am sure that, with dynamic faculty, well-equipped laboratories and world-renowned graduate programs, your University will help me to take a step towards achieving my goal of conducting independent research. My earnest desire to continue further studies at your graduate school stems from the fact that it has long time record of academic excellence and is backed by expert faculty and very good research facilities. Your university is a confluence of people from every culture, nationality, religion, race and ideology. I’m sure that my exposure to this kind of diverse influence would aid in the overall development of my personality and help me broaden my way of thinking and approach to things. I’m keen to acquire all the above mentioned qualities which will be the basic attributes of a man in the present day world.
Let me conclude by observing that my ardent desire to enrich and contribute to the field of Mechanical engineering has been stoked. I believe that a good graduate program is an essential step for realizing my ambition of becoming a competent researcher. I also believe that I possess the required preparation, motivation, intellectual ability and commitment to do justice to a demanding graduate program.
I hope for a favorable consideration of this application in the happy event of which I could guarantee I would do my utmost to live up to the high standards of your expectations.
