STATEMENT OF PURPOSE GOWTAM PRITHVI 13BEC0790 SLOT : B2

Electronics Communications is an industry that has changed our lives. In a very short period it has changed the way we have looked at things since centuries. It is one industry that is going to shape our future for centuries to come. Hence it is desire to do masters in electrical engineering with communications as my major. My interest in Electronics dates back to the early days of my high school. My career objective is to pursue research in the field of Electrical Engineering. I am of firm conviction that suitable opportunity to pursue graduate studies will help in my endeavor towards realizing my goal, paving the path for self- actualization.

The field of electrical & electronics engineering has always fascinated me. I picked up the rudiments of electronics field and electrical engineering. The reason for choosing Electronics and Communication stream was not a hasty decision. My interest started developing in the early stage of my life, when I studied about the invention of computers, moreover about its large size. The transformation from the large size to small palmtops enticed me to know about the factors that are responsible for making computers, also the electronic gadgets so small. I was taken aback after seeing a small chip for the first time in my school days, furthermore when it came to my knowledge that this single chip contains more than 1000 transistors, it really became impossible for me to believe, “integrated circuits” was the answer I received, but wasn’t able to penetrate the fundamentals of it. From then, everyday I come across with small circuits and spent hours to solve the mystery and finally decided to enter into the cave of electronics.

I did my schooling from Narayana Educational Institutions, in Hyderabad, in the idyllic atmosphere of which I gradually flourished as a versatile person and secured 95 % in my 12 th grade. As the school plays a stepping stone in every child’s life, it even encouraged me to do some other extra curricular activities other than academics; it helped me to become a better and an extrovert child. This encouragement and involvement helped me to have an open and a positive attitude in life. I actively participated in INTER SCHOOL CRICKET COMPETITIONS, and athletic field events.

My fascination towards ‘ELECTRONICS N COMMUNICATION’ basically developed as early as in the 10th grade when I took part in a science exhibition. I was then really fascinated by the complexities of different structures and their working. The interest and fascination has evolved into a determination to study the subject deeply and to do some valuable research in the field. Therefore my quest to attain knowledge landed me up in Vellore Institute of Technology, where I took Electronics & communications and got the opportunity to study Electronic Engineering at a great depth. My keen interest in this direction was another positive point, which gave me an edge above other students. I excelled it with FIRST DIVISION though there were others who scored better than me but I was appreciated for the depth and clarity of my knowledge and the way how I presented my papers.

The subject of research which interests me very much are embedded systems. Networking, microwave engineering. electromagnetic theory is another research subject which arouses my curiosity. The subject Electronics and Communication which I had in my graduation introduced me these topics in having done a rigorous groundwork in both theoretical and applied areas, now I am in a position to peep into the realm of higher studies.

I am extremely hard working and sincere in all my endeavors; I am an ambitious person with immense will power. It has been my long cherished dream to become a researcher and eventually come out as a good electronic engineer, equipped enough to contribute to the larger community. But to gain more expertise, I wish to undertake my graduate study at your prestigious University, which has the best of facilities. I think yours is a right place that would suit my interests and aspirations the best. If you give me a chance to prove myself as a researcher, it would be a fine opportunity to realize my dreams and to give a proper fulfillment to my otherwise brilliant academic career. Thank you, for considering my candidature as a prospective graduate student.
