Statement of Purpose for MTech Software SystemDinesh Kumar Saini

The expanding use of computers across all segments and facets of industry demands ever more efficientand effective networking technology. Coming from a software application background, I have becomefascinated with the world of networking and have developed a strong desire to better understand the

challenging tasks involved in interconnecting mobile, desktop and server devices. This interest culminatedin my decision to pursue a graduate degree, majoring in the field of Software Systems.

My Personal Background My prodigious appetite for knowledge started from the moment I learned to write the English alphabet onthe sandy grounds of my kindergarten school. That event spurred me to work assiduously, acquiring newinformation on whatever topic I set out to learn, and it stirred me to attain ever-greater goals.

Blessed with schooling from CBSE New Delhi, one of the premier boards of education in India, I wasstrongly motivated to succeed. I passed my X class exams with over 79% marks and achieved the thirdposition in my city. After the completion of my secondary school studies, I was admitted to the SDCollege of Engineering and Technology, one of the most reputable colleges in Uttar Pradesh. I obtainedmarks of 73.62% in the B.Tech exams in the undergraduate program, majoring in Software Systems.

During my undergraduate course of study, I was exposed to many fascinating subjects includingprogramming languages such as C and Java, classes in Data Structures and a Computer Networks course.My B.Tech degree led to my current position at Zapbuild, an innovative web and IT consulting companywhere I have continued to increase my software development skills in a variety of areas including PHP,Ruby, and database development in addition to learning several new libraries, frameworks, and APIs.

Throughout my education and career, I have been supported by family members who believe strongly inthe importance of a good education. A good example is my brother, a research analyst in the field of BioInformatics. He received a PhD in biotechnology, and has been a guide and an inspiration to me in mygoal to attend graduate school. I firmly hope that I can continue to make my family proud of my success,and someday reach the level of formal education that my brother has achieved.

My MotivationI have always believed that one should never give up the habit of asking questions, and this habit is animportant facet of my creative personality. I seek to invent new ideas by applying the basic principles ofexisting theories and practices in uncommon ways.

There is a saying which states , The only thing permanent in life is Change . This idea correlates perfectlyto the world of Software Systems where novel ideas are not a novelty for long. It is this constant streamof new ideas that entices me to this field, and gives me a deep sense of professional pride.

Coming from a family where everyone has excelled in academic achievements, I also want to pursue mygraduate studies and research in a University of Excellence. I desire a school which will provide me anopportunity to work with the most modern and sophisticated equipment. I would like to participate in an

intellectual environment that will help me to realize my dreams of further exploration and contribution inthis field.
