I introduce myself as HARIJITH M, This SOP is completely written by me with no copying or help

whatsoever. I have purposefully not included info about my childhood schooling or how I got into
my college because it exactly related to my aim of studying computer applications and its
networking. Finally it became my ambition to seek a qualification and job to prove my capacities,
to undertake any challenge, in the frontier areas of Computer Software & Hardware and
Maintenance my section and seek a right community to work with, which would help to serve the
society.
A random quote I read on some social Networking site: - “Sometimes when my Internet is down, I
forget the rest of my computer still works.” Some people might dismiss this statement as a joke but if
we think carefully, the statement is true. It is almost unthinkable to have standalone PC’s today with
no connectivity to other devices or the Internet and this massive and fascinating field is only
growing and evolving every day. It is in this field of Computer Networks that I wish to pursue my
post-graduate studies in reputed university from highly designated university of HERTFORDSHIRE
LONDON.

My first real introduction to computer Networks was during the sixth semester of my under-graduate
studies (BCA) when the subject “Computer Networks” was a part of the syllabus. The recommended
book for studies was “Data Communications and Networking” by Behrouz A. So, like most students
my foray into the Networking and system security World began with this text. From the first moment
of studying about the OSI model layers I was totally entranced. The subject was not only intuitive
and easy to understand but its use and implementation could be seen everywhere around us. From
the LAN ports installed in every student rooms to the default gateways connecting us to the internet
networking was truly a miracle of modern technology and I became determined to assimilate as
much knowledge of the sphere as possible, both theoretical and practical, and also to implement
said knowledge in practical pursuits.

In order to further my understanding of the practical aspects of Computer Networking I signed up

for an Advanced Networking Course by HCL Career Development Centre as part of our summer
training/internship for students entering their final year. So I became familiar with Networking
models, Networking protocols, Networking Algorithms, Networking Devices, Networking Media,
Networking Topology, Concept of different Servers, Concept of Networking Security, Implementation
of a simple LAN and WAN, Connecting a particular office or site to Internet, Securing a particular
site from outside, Wireless Network and its Security, Simple Network Troubleshooting, Network
Addresses. Even though a lot of these topics were familiar to me through my Networking studies in
the 6th semester the real difference was the first hand experience and familiarization with various
networking equipment with various Networking devices like Switches, Routers and Wireless
Modems/ Access Points. The course ended with a project to connect a small office site to the
Internet in a Packet Tracer simulation. It is well known that networking knowledge needs to be
supplemented with good programming fundamentals in an object-oriented Language. The C
language was already a part of our course material during First Semester of Graduation and I have
supplemented it with study of C++ to build a thorough understanding of object oriented as well as
Procedural Programming.
Moreover I have experience in Qatar Safari group of Company was designated Tech Support And IT
Technician & Network support ,Later I was designated IT Technician and Tech Support Executive,
At Evolution Technologies as IT Network Support in 2019. There I was having a Computer
maintenance, Hardware, OS – Installation, Trouble Shoot, with my experience thus far I am
confident that I have a solid base in the world of Computer Networks.
To further solidify this base and expand my horizons in the Networking world I wish to pursue a
Master’s degree in networking from a reputed UK university of HERTFORDSHIRE. It is no secret
that most of the cutting edge research and latest developments come from various LONDON
universities and research departments. Also the faculty and Labs are certainly among the best in the
World. Keeping these factors in mind I would like to apply to your University as a prospective
student and I hope that if given the chance I would enhance the University’s reputation and
standings in addition to furthering my own practical and professional pursuits.
Thank you for taking the time to review my application
