STATEMENT OF PURPOSE NAME                                                      :           Kandula Ajay Kumar  MAJOR FIELD OFSTUDY                   :          INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY  DEGREE  SOUGHT                                :          MS. INFORMATION  TECHNOLOGY                                        Right from my school days Ihad a liking for basic science. Mathematics was one subject I relished much,which is reflected by the fact that I scored high grades throughout my schoollife.

A penchant for problem solving and the fascination for science inspiredby the splendors of engineering facts induced me in the versatile field ofComputer Science. Thus I chose the fastest growing field of InformationTechnology as my career option. I was ranked in the top 4% in the State-levelEngineering Entrance Examination taken by more than 2,00,000 students. I haverecently finished my undergraduate program in Information Technology and thiscourse has fuelled my creativity. I stood among the top 3% of my college andtill now proved my worth and continue to do so in my future studies. I haveworked hard to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all myendeavors.

Learning my self and sharing my knowledge with others has been mostworthwhile when comprehending a concept. Also, I was ranked in the top 7% withAll India Rank 738 in Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineers conducted all overIndia.                                       In thepresent ‘Global Village’, computer communications has become all the moreimportant and enthused me in the field of Computer Networks. Not only Americais the birthplace of my chosen field of study but also nurtured it for it’sfull growth and continuous development due to which I want to specialize inNetworking by pursuing a Master’s program in Information Technology at yourUniversity and put my imagination to work. It is the ideal way for me to gainthe knowledge and skills to stand tall as a computer professional.                                      Networkingand Distributed Computing are the prime areas of my interest.

I haveparticipated in seminars on various topics like ‘Design and Implementation ofDistributed Computing’, ‘Computer Networks’, ‘Networking with Unix’ etc. Again,my project work of final year was a multi-featured Intranet file transferClient Server suite. (Implementation of ‘TFTP’ protocol and ‘Compression’functionality using Huffman coding). The project gave me an in-depth knowledgeof Networking features and ability to apply object oriented design in myproject. During the graduate program I propose to garner more in-depth, andexpansive knowledge of Advanced Technological developments in computer sciencewith a special concentration in these fields.                                       In addition, I have been a member of the studentcouncil for the past three years wherein workshops/seminars, events, festivalsand functions exposed me to a lot of emerging technologies. My managerial andinterpersonal skills developed me as one of the organizers of TechFest “Questfor Intellectuals”.

                                        Ifeel that graduate study at your university will be the most logical extensionof my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. Anextremely distinguished faculty guides, a milieu replete with academic activityand a graduate program which blends high quality course work and researchfaculties at the cutting edge every sub field are the factors which hasmotivated me to choose this program for graduate studies. I believe the programoffered will help me to acquire the versatility needed to reach my fullpotential as an engineer. My past work in the area of computer science wascharacterized by dichotomy of approaches. The courses that I took in this areadealt with various operational and tactical issues, I am sure, shall reach togreat heights and achieve the aims and objectives set by your university.  Looking forward for yourvalued choice.                                                                                                                                                            KandulaAjay Kumar                                                                                                              Date:
