STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I am Syed Aleemuddin, an undergraduate student in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology affiliated to Osmania University, have applied to graduate program in Electrical Engineering at your University. In the following lines I attempt to give a brief portrayal of my interests, aptitude, education and extra-curricular activities. The process of learning continues throughout once life says an old adage. Its a never ending process and I firmly believe it. As one goes on learning new things, one realizes that there are many more things which one needs to learn to quench ones thirst for knowledge. During the course of my undergraduate study I have learnt many things but I have also realized that I need to learn more to advance frontiers in my field of interest. A graduate study is the next step in my quest for knowledge and to bring out my forte to the fore. Right from my school days, I have always shown a high degree of competence and interest in mathematics and physical sciences. I have written different talent search examinations like NATIONAL SCIENCE TALENT SEARCH EXAMINATION, MATHS OLYMPIAD,SCIENCE OLYMPIAD etc. It was with this motivation that I took up the mathematics and physical sciences stream in my pre-university course. My excellent performance here gave me the confidence to take electronics and communication engineering. I was admitted to the undergraduate program in electronics and communication through a statewide entrance examination in mathematics and physical sciences. In my undergraduate study I have been deeply interested by subjects such as semiconductor electronics, Analog and Digital electronic circuits, Digital Signal Processing and VLSI. My area of interest is VLSI and Embedded Systems. As soon as I joined electronics I would wonder how we are able to able to fabricate a million of transistors on a small IC. One of the faculty members of our college conducted a 2 week workshop on VLSI during my third year of engineering. I attended the workshop and to my benefit I learnt how an integrated chip is fabricated beginning from idea in the designers mind to the actual implementation. After attending the workshop I opted for VLSI during my final year of engineering and I am currently working on a project called ass Sigma Delta Analog to Digital Converter. I have also worked on different softwares like Tanner Tools, Cadance, Matlab, Xilinx . As per the latest research I have found that the ICs can be fabricated on 45nm technology also. As an undergraduate student I am not content with what I have learnt in this subject and am thirsty for acquiring more knowledge in terms of both theory and application.

To keep pace with fast growing technology, I attended every workshop and paper presentation competitions that were held at our college. I was a part of the IEEE Student Branch of my college. The branch provided me many opportunities to attend technical workshops and seminars conducted by eminent personalities. Apart from this I have also been the active participant in the sports events such as Cricket, Badminton and table Tennis of my college as well as other intercollegiate competitions. All these activities have given me the confidence and inspiration to actively participate in the process of acquiring and sharing knowledge. The essence of university education lies in the success of the symbolic relationship between the student and his department. It is with this in mind that I am looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship with your university. From the tremendous research options available here, I am confident that I will have the opportunity to work professionally with faculty on research projects and at the same time, I can make my research-work more meaningful. Based on my abilities and interests I feel that pursuing a graduate program at your prestigious university would benefit me greatly in the pursuit of my dreams and goals. I have read about the research going on in your university and have been very impressed by the work being done by the excellent faculty and the students involved at your institution. I feel I am confident enough to do justice to these aspirations and leave up to your expectations. Hoping with a positive attitude, I earnestly look forward to be a part of your esteemed institution.
