Today, the demand for power is fueling the momentum of change, a change which is shaping the economic
stability and growth of almost all the countries. To stay ahead in the fast
changing world requires the ability to look beyond the present. Europe
especially Switzerland has emerged as the center for cleaner and greener energy
source, with all the latest research and development happening here. My
country, India is also caught in the 'wind' for change creating exciting opportunities
for youngsters of my generation. Indians are proving the worth of their merit
and diligence on world platforms. The caliber to match international parameters
is the vital need of the hour. This has motivated me to pursue a Master's
course in Electrical Engineering at your university. XYZ is the university where great scholars have
studied. You have the best research facilities, most sophisticated and modern
laboratories, and a dynamic curriculum which gives a variety of options to
choose the course best suit, which will enable me to understand and apply
modern techniques to meet different needs. Your faculty does not only teach
what is known but actively contributes to the growth of new knowledge.
Education at your institute will equip me to keep pace with the technological
revolution.
I want to
learn to grow in the challenging field of energy science and its related
industries. I want to understand the intricacies of the wide spectrum of power
system and the allied field of sustainable energy sources. With the recent
developments in smart grids which is making the 'impossible' of yesterday, a
reality of today and going beyond to create a new tomorrow. My ambition is to
focus on a career aimed at contributing to research and development in the
arena of energy systems and technology. Your training will develop my expertise
to manage the vital aspects of this ever growing technology with the capability
to adapt, assimilate and add on new dimensions of my own.
My academic
record throughout has been outstanding. I have secured 90% in the 10th standard
which earned me a honor from CBSE board as an award for academic excellence in
2004.I secured 80% in the Science stream (comprising Physics, Chemistry and
Mathematics) in the 12th standard and got admission to Electrical and
electronics engineering in VIT university which is ranked among top 15
technical universities in India. My academic performance continued to flourish
at VIT and I passed with an overall aggregate of 83.7% within top 20 students
in the department.
My schedule at
engineering college was filled with intense study and focused work for research
and a variety of technical projects. I was an
active member of the SEDS, VIT one of its kinds of student chapter dedicated
towards space exploration. I was also an active member of IETE student chapter
initiated towards development of Electronics and telecommunication engineering.
I was one of the main organisers for national workshop on "power system
communication, quality and high voltage engineering" in 2010 being held
for the 1st time in our college. I was heading the documentation team for
RIVIERA'09, international cultural and sports fest, considered one of the
biggest in India, held in our college.
As part our
course mini project I worked on "hardware modelling of single phase
cycloconverters" which has potential to develop as practical implication
where we can control the pulse to get the desired frequency output. I have also
worked on developing a “vehicle positioning system” with a GUI using the
display drivers. The whole simulation was created on Lab View, one of the most
modern simulation tools in power engineering. For the final year thesis, I got
selected for internship in IIIT, Hyderabad where I worked on complete study of
installation, relay settings, metering & monitoring function for the relay
SEL-751A (Feeder Protection Relay) and developing a test bench to validate the
time overcurrent relay characteristic. Also the project involved developing a
method so as to detect HIF conditions of any type using a zero resistance
characteristic for the relays.
One of the
most important phases of my education took place on the sports fields. Training
in sports has taught me the value of discipline, rigorous practice and
teamwork. My coach taught me to rise again after every fall, which helped me to
face setbacks in life with courage and the ability to 'try again and again'.
Fair play and sportsmanship prepared me to win the battles of life on the basis
of merit alone.
After college,
I have joined Accenture as a software engineer. Being a student of electrical engineering, it
was a difficult phase for me but through rigorous effort and learning, I have
developed myself as a key resource and also enhanced my behavioral and
professional aspects to mold myself into the corporate world. During my course
of stay in Accenture, I worked for Farmers Commercial IA project for Zurich
North America and got a chance to extensively work in Insurance domain and develop
firm understanding for C, C++ and VB Script. Learning these programming
languages will prove handful while understanding and preparing programming
codes related to core electrical inputs.
During every
summer vacations, I worked for motivational camps in villages as an
agriculturist's aid to help farmers understand best practices followed in
agricultural science. I took on the challenge to introduce them to the world of
horticulture, cross breeding programs for cattle, and health and hygiene, which
was hitherto, something they never cared for. This brought out my creativity
and taught me to share my knowledge with others. I sincerely hope that my
dedication towards excellence in whatever I do, along with my outstanding
academic records, qualify me for admission to your institute with a financial
aid to help me excel even better. I look forward to creating my own niche in
the international family of students at your school. I believe that every
experience will add to my all round education and prepare me for the future.
