SAMPLE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE – PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you
love what you are doing, you will be successful.” The practice of this aphorism
made me diligent besides developing my love towards work. I am Suryatheja, 21
years old. I have completed my Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy from the reputed
University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences (which is affiliated to Kakatiya
University). During the undergraduate program my industry visits and Laboratory
practices created more passion in me for Industrial Pharmacy. In order to learn
more about the intricacies involved in the area, now I would like to pursue a
Master’s program in Industrial Pharmacy. My long term objective is to see myself
as a Scientist in one of the Research and Development organizations.

The Role of my Alma Mater, Vidyaranya High School is unforgettable in molding me

a unique personality. I had the seeds of an excellent education sown here. I
maintained a good rapport with the faculty members, which motivated me towards
keen career advancement. I scored 84.83% in the 10th grade. This result filled me
with more confidence and left me with a predilection for academics.

Next milestone in my academic carrier was “Nava Vignana Bharathi Jr College.” As I

looked up to this institution to help me to broaden my ken, I developed a penchant
for Chemistry, mathematical and physical sciences, an inclination for problem
solving and a desire to know more. Here I was equipped with right level of self-
confidence and maturity

Fighting off tough competition and being among the top 5% in the EAMCET
conducted for about 200,000 students, I managed to secure a seat for Bachelor of
Pharmacy in University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, one of the top 5 best
colleges in India. This college with its wealth of facilities and faculty kindled the
embers of interest into flames that consumed every bit of information provided.

My course as a part of undergraduate study has helped me in acquiring a firm

footing in topics such as Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacology,
Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and
other topics related to pharmaceutical studies comprehensively, taught by highly
qualified and competent faculty members, and also through practicals, frequent
guest lectures, interaction with industrialists.

As part of Academics, I have undergone one month industrial training program at

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. This program helped me to learn the different
aspects of Preparation, Coating of Tablets, Filling of Capsules, ELISA, HPLC, GC,
Preparation and evaluation of emulsions, suspensions, creams and pastes,
Dissolution and Disintegration studies of tablets. My theoretical knowledge helped
me to understand the complexity of practical approach with ease.

I also participated in National Pharmacy Week during the Years 2006 & 2007 and
attended Indian Pharmaceutical congress, Held in Hyderabad, India and seminars
like Computer Based Drug Design, Personality Development Skills.

University level. My participation in seminars: National Pharmacy week (2005,
2006, 2007); Indian Pharmaceutical Congress; Latest trends in
Pharmaceutics and Pharmacokinetics;Computer based drug design helped to
