Purpose Behind Pursuing Graduate Studies
My purpose behind pursuing graduate studies is fourfold:
I believe, though mature professional education can be obtained at undergraduate level, it can find its fullest expression only in the graduate years. I do not regard graduate study as a mere extension of undergraduate education or as an end in itself. I shall treat it as a stage to develop acumen under the careful guidance of an expert. By accoutering myself with knowledge of enduring value and by developing the ability to learn anew, I hope to carry out creative endeavor in future.
I wish to become an academician and researcher of repute in my field. To develop this expertise, I must undergo graduate study.
Though I have the background of one of the finest engineering programmes, …show more content…
This urge to learn and discover has not been satisfied by four years of undergraduate study, and is now a source of motivation. I am sure graduate studies will offer me an opportunity to learn more about the exciting and challenging fields in Computer Science. Thus, I intend to pursue \textbf{Master of Science in Engineering in Computer and Information Science} at \textbf{University of Pennsylvania}.
It was in my eighth year that a new instrument in my household generated a high level of curiosity in me. The COMPUTER enthralled me. I could send a mail to my uncle in the United States, which was on the other part of the world. How was it possible? Curiosity motivated me into learning more about how this instrument worked. I was looking for answers and one vague answer; “IT'S ALL TECHNOLOGY” sealed my choice. I decided to pursue my further education in the field of Computer Science and Technology. My doting towards problem solving made me participate in many State and National level Olympiads and bag many accolades. This interest in logical and computational thinking led me to take up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my major subjects in my Pre-University course after …show more content…
Throughout my undergraduate coursework, I undertook various term projects to understand the concepts of computer science to their depth. I worked on an \textbf{Operating System Term Project} in which I modified \textbf{PintOS}, a bare bones OS Kernel developed at Stanford University, by implementing various advanced OS Constructs like Process Synchronization Primitives, File System Management and Design of Virtual Memory by Demand Paging on top of the basic PintOS framework. I have also completed \textbf{Socket Programming Term Project}, \textbf{HTTP Proxy}. In HTTP Proxy, I implemented a basic non-caching HTTP Proxy Sever capable of parsing and checking the HTTP request header according to w3 specifications and then forwarding it to Web-Server. I worked on \textbf{SAC(Student Activity Centre) Management} software. Created a portal for the institute's Student Activity Centre. The software maintains the student organization that acts as the link between the students and the administration.
The objective was to maintain a database using the Relational Database Management
