In this ever-changing world of Engineering and Technology, passing day makes them obsolete and I want to attain the highest level of education and transcend new scope for research in Data Science. This has always fascinated me to pursue my master's in this field.
I have always cherished a dream to become an Engineer, a dream that was innate and developed slowly over the years. Right from my school days I found myself fascinated by the intricacies of mathematics and physics, which spun the web of aura around me, a web that I sought to unravel in countless problem-solving sessions. I have always felt a strong need for achievement, which has been the motivating force behind whatever I have achieved in my academic career. The Electronics department staff in my college gave the strong support to my feeling saying that "We being the Electronic Engineering students can make the world and we can move the world".
I have completed my standard X from [HIGH_SCHOOL_NAME] in 2012 with 8.5 GPA and my intermediate in STEM discipline from [JUNIOR_COLLEGE_NAME] with 87.1%. During my undergraduate education in Bachelor of Technology (BTech-ECE) at [UNIVERSITY_NAME], one of the most reputed engineering colleges in India, I experienced a totally different level of exposure in the field of Engineering. Not only did it allow me access to world-class research, but also provided me with a strong and comprehensive background in the field. I graduated with a 7.32 CGPA in 2020. I have got very good encouragement from my professors in all aspects related to my education and ideas. I was exposed to various subjects like Thermal Engineering, Industrial Management, and Production Technology. Apart from this, I also participated in quiz competitions and debates to get an in-depth knowledge of the domain. I attended Employability Skills Enhancement Training as well. All these experiences boosted my confidence as I took on more responsibilities in life.
I led a project named Dielectric Resonator Antenna for X-Band Applications. The aim of the project is in the field of wireless communication, reduced and productive radiators are required. One of the capable radiators is dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). Almost applied power will be lost in the radiated fields only; this is the attractive feature of DRA in wireless communication at microwave frequency. In this endeavor, new sort of DRAs proposed for standard remote applications like Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), radars and satellite communication field. This endeavor covers the framework of dielectric resonator antenna which including each and every parametric examination of the return loss (S1,1), radiation illustrations and directivity for a specific application. Because of this adaptability and flexibility in DRAs, they can be made with various shapes according to scope necessities dependent upon the applications. Here, the created composed and tiny shaped DRAs are stimulated by using fundamental scaled downscale strip energize opening coupling strategy works over X-band, running from 7.12GHz to 8.29GHz, having helpful features (less spillage of radiation, diminishing echo, working at to an extraordinary degree high frequencies). The decreased CDRA is covering the full frequencies at 8.04GHz with -16db and a half split tube formed is covering the resonating repeat at 9.2525 with -11db. Receiving wire offers minimum return setback which covers satellite applications; 5G applications are not all that removed future.
Apart from the academics, I wanted to get closer look at Industrial Engineering Applications so I had undergone some industrial visits. They are the following: [COMPANY_NAME_1] and [COMPANY_NAME_2] in [CITY_NAME].
I am pretty much interested in sports. I do play games like Cricket, Volleyball, and Table Tennis. Cricket and Volleyball in particular have helped me to keep my body and mind fit. I secured second place in Inter School Volleyball Tournament.
In this world where engineers are proliferating at an extremely high pace, I felt that I had to achieve something different to stand in a good position in the competitive world. Pursuing this strongly in-built motive, during my study at baccalaureate level I have nurtured a growing interest in C and Python due to its immense real-life applications and wide scope of research. I want to expose myself to the outer limits of specialized knowledge of these fields. A thorough knowledge of computers is imperative for any engineer to be successful. I have taken computer and electronics courses in C-Language, Python and I am well acquainted with IoT and Embedded Systems.
Being a prospective student for new challenging ideas, I believe that an opportunity for higher education in the UK would be a unique fortuity to test and prove my ability and also to enrich and broaden my keen with transition to a new setting. Finally, I would like to add here that my parents have always been a source of inspiration to me. They have set me personal examples and ideals for me to follow. As a result of this, I believe that over the years, I have evolved into a person who can fit easily into a team and who appreciates the value of discussion and exchanges of ideas.
I would like to conclude with the reasons for my choosing to apply to your esteemed university for my Master's in Data Science. I perceive that graduate study nurtures the seeds of learning sown during the course of undergraduate study. After having gone through the details of the research facilities available at your university, I feel that they are very much catering to the fields of interest and it is the right place to embark upon my academic career. Finally, I take this opportunity to thank you for enabling me to express myself and looking forward for my admission into the graduate program of your esteemed university.

# Reasons for Choosing the United Kingdom
My desire to pursue an international qualification in the field of IT led me into a research for the appropriate destination. After my firm decision to study abroad, I started doing my research. I consulted with my seniors and experts and personally chose the UK as it offers high quality education, friendly people and cultural diversity. UK has a unique education system and comprehensive learning styles that brings out the best in us. I will also be able to undergo at least two full internships during my course here. Moreover, India is one of the few countries in the world whose tradition for scientific investigation is very ancient. The need today is to revive her ancient spirit and organized scientific research on modern lines so that the benefits of knowledge in technology can be applied to the well-being of the common man. If the country is to catch up with the rest of the world the scientific attitude must replace her traditional mood of thought and action. India's needs of technical personnel are not only quantitative but qualitative also. In order to achieve these goals and to provide her with a quality engineer, I would like to study further and learn the latest in computer technologies. This would all be fulfilled by Master's in UK. Most of the colleges and universities provide a wide range of flexible English courses and study options which help international students to cope with the system.
