My Goal To Pursue Master's In Software Engineering

“It’s never too late to be what you might have been. ” Passion is the difference between having a job or having a career. After scrutinizing my interests, past training, the current position in the job and final ambition, I have decided to pursue Master's in Software Engineering, which will help me to develop a successful career in the growing software industry. Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated by the variety of functions that a computer can perform, my favourite was pinball though. I think my interest in computers started as early as that. Given my interest in computers from an early age, after matriculation, I chose computer science as my additional subject along with science in higher secondary school. As the volume of the data being processed by corporations today is staggering dramatically, there is a need of cutting-edge technologies at every step. The widening gap between data and information has generated an urgent need for new techniques which will turn these vast amounts of data into “Golden Nuggets” of knowledge. This realization motivated me to work towards becoming a veteran in the field of Computer Science.

My undergraduate education at Oriental Institute of Science and Technology, one of the foremost institutes affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University (Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh), has played a key role in developing analytical and communication skills, creativity, and spirit of teamwork. Through the course of the four-year Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in Computer Science and Engineering, I acquired an overall perspective of software knowledge, with a particular interest in Database Management System and Software engineering. It has given me a comprehensive exposure to courses like Database Management Systems, Software Engineering, Computer Networking, Principle of programming languages and Computer System Organization. My proficiency in languages such as Java, C, C++, SQL and ORACLE has laid a strong foundation towards achieving my goal. I have successfully achieved every academic milestone of my education by being departmental topper of my institution.

I worked on project that aimed at developing “Hospital Management System”, in which Java is used for front-end designing and connectivity was done through My-SQL as backend. Motive behind selecting this project was to make the working process much easier and faster by providing more user friendly interface with proper backup. I was also involved in “Image Steganography” project along with the team of 4 members. The main aim was to encrypt the data over an image file using the LSB (Least Significant Bit) Algorithm. A message sent in secret (steganography) in an encrypted form (cryptography) is much more secure than a "plain text" message sent by secret means or a clearly sent encrypted message. During these projects, along with technical skills, I inculcated managerial skills and learned how to manage time along with managing the team.

I was also interested in Big Data, so took training from Appin Technology Bhopal on Hadoop. I took vocational training from Signal and Telecomm Department, Western Railways DRM office Ratlam [M. P], where I got an opportunity to understand the networking of Indian Railways and how the data is managed by providing backup’s to each network. Besides projects, I have also attended seminars on Ethical hacking at IIT BHU Varanasi, Annual Techno Management Festival 2015 and participated in ethical hacking workshop by Sunny Vaghela, a brilliant ethical hacker in year 2014. I believe in “All study and no play makes jack a dull boy”, so along with my academics I followed my hobby of playing basketball and got selected for University National Basketball Tournament. At that time I realized, “Opportunities don’t happen, you create them”. Thus because of my constant smart work and dedication to be all-rounder, after receiving job offer from Tata Consultancy Services, I continued playing basketball in my leisure time. I was selected in the official team of this prestigious company and won many inter-corporate tournaments. I always kept balance between work and extra-curricular activities. I would like to be a successful technocrat along with social worker. On behalf of our company Tata Consultancy Services, I visited orphanage and provide help in every possible manner. Apart from this, I love to explore new places and ideas, taking part in different events and interacting with people. I have been selected in SSB interview for Indian Navy but due to some circumstances was not able to crack it. I was Coordinator of “Chal Kar Pehel” all women Walkathon for Gender Equality. Also I have coordinated event for “Women empowerment” in Bhopal.

I had been selected in campus placement in Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) which is world’s premier IT Company. TCS specialized me on SAP ABAP by providing 3 months of professional training at Gandhinagar (Gujarat, India). Currently I am working in Mitsubishi Corporation (Japan Onsite Operations) project as technical SAP-ABAP developer in Pune (Maharashtra, India). Currently my experience in SAP-ABAP is of 17 months and still counting.

The Canadian education system is one of the best with excellent faculties and infrastructure. Educational programs offered here cover entire gamut of various fields. Universities here allow for a great amount of flexibility in courses and choices. Considering my technical and management aspirations, I was always looking forward to pursue a course which will strengthen my technical aspects and nurture sound managerial skills. This makes Canada a dream destination for me.

By pursuing Master's in Software Engineering in your distinguished university, I wish to venture deeper into the world of Computer Science, to build a solid foundation and knowledge of industry oriented practical aspects. I am sure that my curiosity and research skills will enable me to succeed in this promising program to become a successful engineer in growing software industry. Eventually, I deeply believe that the excellence of your program, along with my capabilities and motivation, will help me to attain my cherished dream. My objective is to gain practical knowledge required to excel in ever growing computer software industry and the highly qualified faculty members of your university in this field can provide me the best guidance necessary to achieve my academic goals.

I have furnished all the required documents for the program to compete for my candidacy at your prestigious university. I wish to aver that I will make maximum use of all the opportunities bestowed upon me and shall pursue my goals with wholehearted dedication and can live to the high standards set by the university. At last, I am thankful to admission committee for reviewing my application and looking forward to a positive response.
