Education is a tool that puts one on a fast track to acquiring knowledge and

personality that sets one apart from the crowd. It is one bottom less hole; no
matter how much one pours himselfinto it, he thirsts for more.
I can still vividly recall the memory of the day I saw the labs of civil engineering department
in open house program at **** Institute , Guntur eight years ago. Its machinery and the
testing machines interested me a lot. I believe that the best way to predict the future is to
make it. With this belief, I always planned and executed my life towards predetermined
goals. I worked towards and secured admission for an undergraduate program in civil
engineering in ****, Guntur which is rated one among the best engineering college in south
India.
Once I secured admission to one of the most competitive and rigorous civil engineering
programs in India, I structured view of what I might do here. But I found civil engineering
even more interesting and challenging than what I had imagined. Right from the second
year, my kind of preparation was to gain knowledge and subject in depth rather than just
getting marks though I was able to put up good marks on board. My uncle being a civil
engineer added to my further inspiration to define my career goals.
About Undergraduate study, I feel is not a denouement of what I call a journey towards
excellence and competence. Graduate study a sequel to undergraduate study opens up
newer avenues to explore and gives one a wider range of career objectives. My schooling at
elementary and high school has given and excellent command in basics of mathematics and
science and more importantly ignited in me strong interest in civil engineering.
In this ever-changing world of Engineering and Technology, where each new day sees a
spate of new concepts and applications and each passing day makes them obsolete, I want
to attain the highest level of education and transcend new horizons in the chosen field. The
vast application potential and tremendous scope for high career in civil engineering always
fascinated me and I am keen to continue my academic pursuit in this field.
Civil engineering as I believe is the only field where ones work can be seen and felt directly
by the senses and anything done stays forever to the credit. I feel that this is the field which
requires lot of patience, perseverance and management skills to be successful. These are
qualities which need to be nurtured with lot of motivation and hard work and my college
proved to me a right place for this objective.
Now at this junction of my career, I am confident that when I make the transition into
masters program, I will be building on a strong foundation gained in the past years. My
strategy for graduate study will, therefore, be a prolonged one where in I shall be
consolidating my knowledge in a more specialized way and acquire the skills used for the
research. My field of interest in civil engineering is Environmental engineering which has
gained lot of prominence in recent years both in India and abroad. This interest has intuited
me to take advanced courses like Environmental Science and Engineering and Waste Water
Management in my final year as elective subjects.
I am applying for your college on an account of its excellent research facilities combined

with distinguished and dedicated faculty. My admission into your esteemed institution is of
paramount importance for my career. With my theoretical knowledge and practical skill I am
well equipped to meet your expectations. I am confident that I would surely synchronize to
your standards. I hope I will be favorably considered for admission for graduate study with
possible financial assistance.
Having made this statement of my objectives it is my belief that what your university looks
for, in a prospective student, is a strong academic background and the will to perform and
deliver. An extremely distinguished faculty, a milieu replete with academic activity and the
state of the art research facilities in the field of Civil Engineering are the most important
factors, which motivated me to choose your university.
All knowledge is in human mind, it requires only an awakening. Since I strongly believe that
your university would be an ideal place for me to pursue my graduate studies, I wish to
canalize my knowledge and make my life significant by joining your university.
Thanks for considering the application
