“History fails has no clues in giving one example who had defeated in spite of
putting 100 percentile of their commitment”
(Or)
“Common people wait for the time to come. Winners will first create an opportunity
and convert into a success with their wit.”
Let me start the SOP with my self-introduction. Myself XXXX, planning to pursue
Masters in Computer Sciences from your University.
I am from an environment which is a perfect mix and match of village, town, and a
city. People here are kind-hearted and are of helping nature.
Academics
I consider myself as an above average or even a brilliant student when it comes to
academics. I have achieved 71% in my SSC exams which is a start up to my career.
My wish to continue the same progress throughout my career has taken a shape in
my intermediate education. Many thought that my decision of taking Mathematics,
Physics, and Chemistry as my majors is just a casual decision. But with my sincerity
I scored a dashing 90% which has proved that “I was not futile, but outrageous”. I
carried out the same characteristic in my under graduation also.
My groundwork to select the course and College started from here itself. With my
interest in my Sciences and Mathematics I have shown interest in Electricals and
Electronics. Also my seniors gave an opinion that this field is having multiple
opportunities for further studies and for the career opportunities. Finally, I decided
that this group is a win-win situation.
I had my foot in Electrical Engineering. From the day one, I maintained the same
graph till the end of my under graduation. The various concepts like current,
voltage, circuits, and different theorems had dragged the real out of me. But all that
hard input became light when I scored 78% in my Undergraduate exams. I jumped
into jubilance after my results. Even my project work in final year had won accolades
all over the college.
Qualities
I am very confident and my marks will tell you this. The school and colleges I have
studied contributed a lot in my effective communication skills. I am innovative and
different in my ideas and also the way I execute it. I always try to keep and
maintain a good relationship with others. I believe others very quickly. This is my
strength and weakness as well.
Why USA?
“When a man is tired of USA, he is tired of life”.
I am one of those who dreamt of having higher studies in USA. USA is a land of
quality universities and a treasure of opportunities, those are looking for. Doing
higher studies over there is my childhood fascination. And it all happened so that the
university I want to pursue Masters (your University) is also in USA. I am very lucky
for that.
Also the technical and social advancements of the country mould you as a better
human being with a treasure of wide knowledge and help you for self-growth.
Why Course?
I am very inquisitive about computers. This inquisitiveness came during my under
graduation, when I registered for the crash courses like C, C++ and the basics of
Java.
After my graduation, doing higher studies became inevitable for me. Then I thought,
instead of going with the tide and pursue some course which the time will decide, let
me decide my own fate. With this clarity, I decided to pursue Masters in Computers.
Also the opportunities for a Computers Graduate are more compare to other
graduates.
“The field of Computers is Immortal. “
Goal
“Ordinary people strive for living hood and geniuses strive to provide it for others
also”. This is the way I look at life. In my perspective, the education you pursue and
the job you do should help the needy in some way or the other. In my nearer future,
I want to be in a good position by establishing my own firm and generate
employment for others. Thus it will be a two way beneficial. If I will be able to do
that I will become a role model for at least a few.
Hobbies
Watching movies is my hobby and my source of recreation. I watch light weight
movies and language is not a bar. I love unwinding with friends for a shopping.
Often on I also play indoor games, whenever I got time.
Ideals
I don’t think, for a girl, no other person stood first as an idol rather than her own
father and I am no more an exception. He is very industrious, focused, and a hard
worker. His broader thinking sense is the reason behind my achievements so far.
Next to my father, I love Rajini kanth very much. The way he manages larger than
life image is unbelievable. He is very sober and down to earth.
Why University?
When I was searching for your University online, I couldn’t found a reason to
hesitate to apply. By the testimonials I understood that the fact that the University
has produced many scholars, entrepreneurs, Engineers and doctors worldwide. The
two-hour long visit of your website has shot all my doubts.
I was aware of the fact that having a spectacular academic background will help me
to understand the topics better, but to excel it I had to sweat a lot. I am ready to
give my two year of time for that, if I got the admission at your University.
I think I justified my reasons for all above and the remaining I can do is to wait for
your call.

Management Information System
INTRODUCTION:
My father, my ideal, signified at an early age to me that the pursuit of excellence is
the greatest noble act one can do and this has come to stay with me in all my
accomplishments so far. Through him I came to know that successful individuals are
neither overwhelmed by adversity, nor back away from challenges. I took up all the
challenges that life had to offer and completed my matriculation with 89.5%, and
went on to take up Inter. I cleared the same with a score of 93.2% and then joined
the graduation course with lot of dreams and goals and the resultant assignments.
Such good results and the urge to achieve, and the desire to prove myself among
the talented students of science guided my cherished ambition. At present I want to
pursue Management Information System (MIS) which inspires me to surge ahead
and earn a name for my work.
My academic performance, a scientific approach in life, hard work, and
determination to succeed added to my confidence.
PAPERS AND PUBLICATION
I have actively participated in seminars and lab work. Being the representative I
performed experiments with a great sense of responsibility. Team leading, newer
challenges by the day, course work and my own initiatives provided an opportunity
to gain an insight in conducting, planning and executing many experiments.
I have publications to my credit and was the main author for Design Development
and Characterization of Oro-Dispersible Films of Granisetran Hydrochloride. I along
with Dr. Sai Kishore co authored “Fast Dissolving Tablets of Ibuprofen “ and have
submitted three review papers of which I was the main author for “ Direct
compression - an overview ” and also “ Modification of Chitosan; use in Nano
particulate Dry Delivery System”, and another one along with B.Teja on Nano
sponges in New Technology. I had the honor to participate in National Seminars at
NIPER, Chennai and Guntur. I have completed a Project on Solid Lipid Nano Particles
of Chlonazepam---Targeting for Brain in M. Pharmacy
Why MIS?
Information technology is a further step to mankind.
From the past few decades, the capabilities of both generation and collection of data
has been increasing in great pace. The main factors include the computerization in
all the sectors such as business, science, government and management. In addition
to these, the World Wide Web which is a global information system has loaded us
with a tremendous amount of data and information. The present scenario of online
banking transactions is a good example of the need of secure and convenient
information system. This explosive growth in stored data has generated an urgent
need for new techniques and tools that can intelligently assist us in the management
of data and information. So, defining new methods and utilizing the present tools of
managing information system in a more efficient way could be a flourishing frontier
in the information field for the days ahead. Beside we should not forget: The need is
great in the future.
The present world is surrounded by the data and information field. On one hand,
these data present the potential for us to discover useful information and knowledge
not seen before. On the other hand, we are limited in our ability to manually process
large amounts of data to discover useful information and knowledge. So, the need of
better tools and application as well as the reliable methods of utilizing the data and
information is the eminent necessity of not only today’s world but the future also.
The real-time processing and analysis of various data and information should be
realized. There should be a constant evaluation of the system indicating relatively
strong work handling capacity and expansion capacity; useful for optimization,
reduction of management risks, and improvement of information efficiency.
QUALITIES:
I am dedicated, involved and sincere, and well equipped to meet your high
standards. I want to have the energy, enthusiasm and plan to work hard and just be
the same academics loving person, in all the future years of my life. Pursuit of
knowledge has always been a cherished obsession and a dominating influence for
me. Being the representative gave me a sense of responsibility. I won several prizes
in Debate, Essay writing competitions held at university level. I won First Prize in
Probiotics in 2011. I also participated in Blood Donation Camps and was a part of
free supply of medicine to the poor and needy. My participation in seminars and in
National Pharmacy Week helped me to explore the future prospects of
pharmaceutics. I aim to be a Talent who is a standard bearer for practice and
research in Pharmaceutics, having a passion for excellence. My long term goal is to
develop and implement innovations in Pharmaceutics that have significant impact on
the quality of future patients.
WHY USA:
One has to consider the opportunities USA provides:
A world-class higher education system that attracts talented people from across the
globe,
An environment of risk-taking and innovation, that enables the development of
products and services which improve the society,
A spirit of mentorship,
It gives opportunity to learn, research, innovate, and try in a given field,
USA is truly a society of meritocracy, irrespective of age, family name, color or
gender. All are judged on their potential and skills alone.
It is as much a land of immigrants as it is the land of opportunity.
WHY UNIVERSITY:
The University has World-class faculty, where Groundbreaking research is
undertaken providing boundless future. The student community is diverse and
vibrant. It has earned a reputation for academic and research excellence. Its
programs have a positive impact on the world. Here talented students receive

design, drug delivery, and medication therapy management. Learning from those
who serve on national committees and boards, which influence the direction of
research and healthcare policy will be a great boost for me. They strive continuously
to implement new ways to improve the health of the people.
I figured that once a student is admitted to the College, he is assigned an individual
academic advisor who help in planning schedules and must approve the courses
which each student selects. They also advise on electives and assist in determining
the best schedule. The advisor has a say in academic or personal problems, and is
considered a personal friend. He is interested and experienced to give help.
Your university shows the way and answers my dreams. It is exemplary, having an
image of excellence. It is a fountain of knowledge, and a perennial source of
inspiration, making it a dynamic and ideal place to study. It qualifies to be a center
of taking the best of talented students who wish to undertake research to surmount
various difficulties in formulation of new chemical entities and aim at giving the best
results. Based on my knowledge, skills, background and the academic record so far,
my admission into your esteemed institution is a boon for my career.
I aspire that your university will help me to translate these dreams into reality hope
that I will receive a nod for MIS, with a possible financial assistance. The goal is to
achieve excellence and to contribute to the body of knowledge. I aim to master
latest techniques, become creative and develop an innovative style of thinking.
I eagerly look forward for being a privileged member of your academic community.
If given the opportunity, I would sincerely work with dedication, and give my best to
make substantial contribution in my field. I will live up to high standards expected of
me. In conclusion I look forward to undertake a new journey of discovery, of
challenges, and of guided achievement in the service of the humanity.

I was born and brought up in Hyderabad, which is a metropolitan city, and a state
capital. I was attracted to the rich culture and tradition of my state and country. My
city assimilates different cultures. It is known as a residence from People from all
over the world and for its rich cultural heritage, religious togetherness, brotherhood
and celebration of festivals. Hence it is called a “Happening Hyderabad”. This gave
me an ample opportunity to get the right exposure to different traditions and
cultures. And I am proud to mention that Hyderabad was chosen for conducting the
prestigious Conference of Parties (COP) on Biodiversity.
I finished my schooling from _____. Public School, Hyderabad, one of the elite

Sample SOP 5
Information Systems Management
There is an old paradigm that says, "To stay where you are, keep running". Today I
realize how true it is because unless we keep track of the changes and advances
being made we will be considered pariah. As I stand at the threshold of completing
my undergraduate study, after carefully contemplating the various career options
open to me I have decided to go in for graduate study that calls for personal
commitment in fulfilling the crafts of independent research and dedicated
involvement. In turn, I shall get intellectual satisfaction and gratification of becoming
a contributor of knowledge with research, and the greater personal rewards of
memory and discovery. Now, on the verge of completion of my Under-Graduate
Studies, I realize that my present knowledge would not suffice. I feel that unless one
is erudite in his field, one cannot be fully satisfied.
I also feel that “Every person is born with an innate flair, the moment your realize it
you become a great person”. It was at high school that my fascination for electronic
gadgets coupled with a desire to be a skilled programmer, prompted me to choose
Electronics and Communication as the major for my Bachelor’s Degree.
I was not happy with just understanding a phenomenon, but wanted a real time
experience. This interest in logical and computational thinking led me to take up
 Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my major subjects at the Pre-University level
after completing my Schooling with 90%. I completed my pre-University education
with 88%.
For my under graduate studies, I have opted for “ Electrical and Communications
Engineering” in MVSR College of Technology, where I find my diligent study has
brought home to me very strongly, that there is still a vast field that I must explore
and master to achieve my goal of being the best. The economic technological
liberalization that is taking place in India would ensure that I would be able to use
my expertise, to make my country a leader in the area of Information Science and
Technology. My expertise in engineering subjects imbibed in me, an interest to
pursue further education in this field.
During my undergraduate studies, I realized that the curriculum was exhaustive. It
provided an in-depth theoretical background of every subject, but that was not
enough for me. I needed a program that would help me to acquire a higher level of
knowledge, leadership skills and problem solving ability to tackle the most diverse
and complex problems. I realize that a Masters degree in Information Systems
Management will enrich me by transforming me into a complete professional and
providing me with the raw materials necessary to get a winning edge over others.
The answer to Management Information Systems was a Graduate Program in
Information Systems. The advent of applications like high-speed transfer of images,
video telephony and teleconferencing, coupled with the availability of extremely fast
processing elements, has virtually led to an information explosion.
Hence development of such highly efficient computer systems to manage large
volumes of data is extremely crucial for intelligent decision-making.
During my undergraduate course, I was exposed to various subjects that lead me to
do my final year project work in PCB fabrication.

personality and help me broaden my concept from nationalism to internationalism.
With research options available here, I am confident that I will have the opportunity
to work professionally and take up research-work meaningfully.
The hours of hard work that I put into excel in my education not only made me
realize the beauty of attaining knowledge but also gave me the perseverance to look
beyond and extend my boundaries, the time I have spent has only given me a brief
glimpse of the vastness of knowledge, what I have seen has only aroused my
 curiosity and eagerness to explore the depths. I know that my goals are not mere
wishes and I am aware that the path I am choosing is not a smooth horse ride. I
understand that I have to put in painstaking hard work and compete with best in the
world to achieve my goals. I am thoroughly prepared for it. To sum it up, I am
prepared to go an “extra mile”-both figuratively and literally-add value to my
qualification to realize my goals, I know that the competition is going to be tough
but as it has been amply said.
“Life’s battle does not always go to the stronger man, Sooner or later, the man who
wins is the man who thinks he can?”
Finally I look forward for my admission into the Masters in Management Information
Systems (MS in MIS) program of your esteemed university.

Management
“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the
shore.” Andre Gide.
Technologies close to the realms of science fiction; ideas that were impossible to
achieve in the years to come; questions that inadvertently resulted in complicated
solutions, aroused the curiosity in me and motivated to explore the boundaries of
imagination. The spark of taking up new challenges had ignited in me, and led me
sub-consciously to seek answers. Never disheartened or discouraged of failures, I
envisioned plans for a great future. In order to march into a future I needed vigour
and a desire to excel, through theoretical study and practical experience. I possess
sufficient drive and impetus to create a technologically advanced tomorrow by
offering my share through the medium of graduate studies.
Growing up as a child in business family, I spend much time to observe and
assimilate the nuances of business. I realized a craving to learn the processes
involved, and was introduced to the fundamentals of Managerial Economics and
Financial Analysis and I took keen interest in gathering an insight into all the issues
associated with the business.
Pursuing Engineering, I aspired to gain practical exposure in Biotechnology and took
up research in projects titled “Insilico analysis of dipeptidyl peptidase -4 inhibitors”
and “Process and Quality Analysis of Carlsberg Beer”. I was curious about the
Marketing and Production strategies involved, and this resulted in a decision to
undertake Management Studies.
The knowledge from books and practical experience that I have gained is meagre
and fragmentary. I realized that I was languishing on the shores and not venturing
into the vast ocean of Management Studies, where my perennial thirst for a vast
knowledge would be quenched. Creating effective, ethical and efficient methods in
business by using the modern technology is my goal now.
The Australian Universities are known to successfully combine traditional values of
excellence in teaching and research, and challenge conventional practices to produce
new ways of developing courses. Students learn to play a vital role and go places
after completion of a course. Moreover they have state-of-the art libraries. The
urbaneness of the people and the weather are the added features that catch the eye
of a foreign student, and improve the quality of stay.
These motives combined with objectives, passions and dreams close to my heart,
directed me to choose Central Queensland University, for my Fundamental Research.
I am confident of meeting the requirements of the University, and also possess the
right attitude and aspiration, towards education and research. The Master's program
at this university will enable me to acquire expertise and kindle the flame in me to
warm towards the relentless pursuit of knowledge and skill. I am looking forward
towards an opportunity, and call of the future, and a journey to a new shore,
Australia.
