STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

INTRODUCTION
My name is Sweth R Menon, comes from the country of love, diversity and harmony,
India. Born on the 27th of March 1996 I’m 22 years old. I live in Aluva a beautiful city
down south in Kerala. I have a sister who is married and mother. My sponsorship is
taken by my mother who is working with Marampilly Service Co-operative Bank. She
has an annual income of 8, 60,000/-. I had completed my BBA from Amity University
by mid of 2017.

GAP EXPALINED
After my BBA I had started working with Nexus Frozen Fruits Container & Foods
Pvt. Ltd. Till August 2018. Since India is a country that provides total support for
startup that was the best idea to go with. Me along with my brother in law had ended
up planning to start a new export company. At the end of August, we started the
company Nalukettu Exports

AUSTRALIA
Australia is a country of loving, amazing and welcoming people that we meet. The friendly
attitude of the people, the culture and the breathtaking nature beauty attract people from
different countries and culture at Australia. Home to 8/100 top universities and 5/30 best
student cities in the world. The economy of Australia is incredibly stable just like the
government. This reason is why talent is welcomed to the country. The educational system
of Australia is fantastic. The universities and degrees are recognized and considered as
reputed around the world. The level of education provided in the country is also high. The
support services for international students are among the best. The expertise guides, proper
channeling and experience in helping students in incredible. Mild temperature, moderately
high rainfall and many hours of sunshine are some silent features. Providing a work right
of 20 hours a week while studying and full time PSW permit (2years) the international
work experience add value to the carrier. Australia has a lower living expense as compare
to UK and USA which is highly useful for the students.

Home-country (India) or other popular study destinations

(UK/USA/Canada): -
Indian universities like K L University offers M. Tech in cloud computing, another
course which is offered is Master in ERP, however students’ needs to go through the
difficult and time-consuming entrance exams like GATE, BITSAT and many other
university specific examinations. Similar course is M.Sc. (Tech) in information system
which doesn’t suit my interest and is an Integrated First-Degree course not
postgraduate. There is not much college in India that provides these programs. The
Birla Institute of Technology & Science, BITS Pilani provides M.Sc. (Tech)
programs. Education system is more theory focused and Method of assessment is
mostly examinations rather than projects, assignments, etc. Less focus or no focus on
developing individual personality, building confidence, improving communication
skills, building networks and developing cross cultural skills. One major issue now a
day is that Private institutes and colleges demands high tuition fee, which is sufficient
to study in Australia.

In a country like USA they require GRE and TOEFL making it a difficult and time-
consuming process. Currency exchange rate is high and so is the living cost, tuition fee
and other expenses. The students also must have completed at least 4 years of education
(graduation or diploma). Some universities also require work-experience in related
field. Whereas U. K generally offers 1-year M. Tech course which isn’t acceptable with
context to employment opportunities in India. Currency exchange rate is high in U.K
and so is the living cost, tuition fee and other expenses. Some universities require GRE
score and IELTS test. U.K usually has a harsh climate. They have extremely cold
winter. The same situation is in Canada where climatic conditions are difficult to adapt.
The temperature is extremely cold for most of the time of the year which can go up to
-6 to -7. Requires high IELTS score minimum of 6.5 and some universities require
GRE score also. The number of Indian emigrants in Canada has a huge rise which is a
major issue.

Federation University and not any other education provider within

Australia
IIBIT is a part of Federation University which is a modern progressive university
providing vocational and higher education across a National and International network
of campus. They have campuses at Ballarat, Berwick, Gippsland and the Wimmera in
Victoria. Being Victoria’s 5 rated university for teaching quality they provide
scholarship for eligible students. Federation University equips students with necessary
knowledge, skills and aptitude for further study, the world of work and to be effective
global citizen. They have an outstanding record for teacher quality and graduate
employment, with a five-star rating from the Australian good Universities guide for
student support, social equity and skills development. The University is known for
providing study opportunity for diverse range of background; nationalities and age.
These are some reason that made me choose IIBIT for my postgraduate study.
IIBIT and the specific city (Sydney or Adelaide) location
IIBIT has a wide range of high-quality career-oriented programs and an internationally
recognized degree. IIBIT is association with Federation University. Federation
University has commercially desirable and professionally accredited degrees. M.Tech
(ES&BA) is accredited by ACS. Federation University provides the best highly
qualified award-winning staff. This is literally can be the most reliable source for
student. Individual attention and extra classes for academic and English language
support. Cultural diversity is high, and exchange of ideas and knowledge is seen
throughout the university.

Sydney is Australia’s largest city and the financial hub and is one of the most beautiful
and livable cities in the world. Discounted travel plans for international students.
Campus IIBIT is located in CBD. All facilities required for a student is easily available.
The climate condition compared other countries like U.K, Canada and USA is mild and
is the major reason for international student’s attraction.

Graduates of the Enterprise Systems and Business Analytics stream will be immersed
into an ever changing, IT global economic landscape, where a shortage of skilled IT
workers in new growth areas such as cloud computing, mobility, data warehousing,
business intelligence, and big data techniques is prominent. Professional recognition:
This course holds professional-level accreditation with the Australian Computer
Society (ACS).
This program is considered at an honorary level of learning. This means that our
students are eligible to be considered for direct entry into a master's degree by research
or PhD. Mater of Technology (ES&BA) is a 2-year 4 semester program.

Returns on Investments
Since the company Nalukettu Exports that we started is improving in all matter, I would
also like to provide all the knowledge gained through the course coupled with the skills
learnt during my BBA to improve my company in all matter. The course would help me
gain a complete understanding of the working of the business sector that deal with various
aspects of Information Technology and would increase my capacity to work not only with
the software or coding side but also the management side. This will lay a new foundation
for my company. I can improve the company in both technological and management part.
In a country like India all these will play a major role in a company’s development.
Business Analytics have become vital for the growth and development of the companies of
today. Because of the growth of the information sector, the number of job opportunities
grows as well, and this would ensure that the chances of getting a job and continuing in
this field are high. The course is highly relevant in today’s world with its importance only
increasing in the years to come.

My mother lives in India. I’m very close to my mother and she is alone at home during
this time of my studies, thus I would most definitely return after the completion of my
course to be with her. I would also like to actively contribute to the development of my
family business. We have an exporting company which I would like to develop. Upon
return, I want to use the knowledge and skills gained abroad as the new foundation for
the business. Since rapid development of industries is ongoing in India the competition
and lack of ideas is a major challenge. The skill that I acquired could be put to the test
in such scenario. Also, acquiring the Master of Technology (enterprise system &
business analytics) would increase my chances of employment in India considerably as
the course in not provided in my country and there would be many job openings for the
management of IT companies, but only few people with the required qualification and
skills.

Visa Conditions
I understand that a student visa holder should comply with all student visa conditions.
The person is responsible for ensuring and continuing to maintain OSHC and required
funds to cover the living and tuition expenses for the duration of their stay in Australia.
The institution must be notified of change in address or other contact details.
Satisfactory course progress and attendance should also be maintained. The student
visa holder cannot work for more than 40 hours per fortnight when the course is in
session but can work unlimited hours when the course is not in session. The student
must remain enrolled in a registered course. The student is forbidden from taking part
in activities that endanger or threaten any individual or the Australian community,
should not engage in criminal activities, should not have outstanding public health debt
and should maintain a single official identity during his/her stay in Australia.

In conclusion, I believe that the opportunity to study Master of Technology (enterprise

system & business analytics) in Federation University would enable me to grow both
personally and professionally. I would love to be a part of the multicultural community
of the University. I would abide by the all the student visa conditions and would work
hard to complete the course with flying colors.
