“Dream, Dream and Dream. The dream turns into thoughts. Thoughts translate into actions." This famous quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam is an inspiration in my life. After completing my engineering degree from Visvesvaraya Technological University with flying colours, my next obvious dream was to get a master's degree in my favorite subject, VLSI. But I was of the opinion that I should gain some practical exposure by working in a research-oriented organization to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the corporate world. I was fortunate enough to be placed at my dream company, CISCO, and had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology related to System on Chips (SOC). After 3 years of work experience, I realized that I have reached the transition point where the next stepping stone requires in-depth knowledge of a particular field. My colleagues have encouraged my aspiration and feel that I have the potential to pursue graduate studies. My inclination towards science began since my childhood. It was in high school, I built my first AM radio that got me fascinated with electronic devices. Luckily, this motivated me to go further and study electrons, the workings of diodes and transistors without knowing that it would be a stepping stone for my career in electronics. All this was an advantage for me, in addition to the good academic results. I was the best in college, getting 100% marks in both science and mathematics. I was also placed in the top 100 out of 1 lakh students who took the engineering entrance exam. I was in 12th standard, when I heard a speech by Sir Abdul Kalam on "Values ​​Education" it made me take up science career seriously, especially Electronics and Communication as an Engineering specialization... medium paper..... .ong engineering foundation. The computer engineering program promotes the integration of computer hardware and software. I want to be part of a team that accepts design-oriented challenges and demonstrates the skills acquired during my studies. The research programs at the “Greenscale Center for Energy-efficient Computing” and the “Institute of Energy Efficiency” are truly inspiring and supportive to undertake research in the field of VLSI design. The curriculum combines basic concepts with practical experience to provide students with a better understanding of the work. I believe that graduate study at your university will be the most logical extension of my academic activities and an important step towards achieving my goals. I would be grateful if I was given the opportunity to continue my graduate studies at your institution and could justify your trust in me.
