The following draft was submitted to one of the Top Universities in Canada for the MS in Mechanical Engineering program. This is only a sample and events and specifics have been modified for the purpose of this sample:
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE FOR MS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
As a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate student with an ardent interest in the industrial work environment, I have learnt the principles of mechanical engineering those are applicable to most machines, tools and processes which naturally widens my scope of learning and research. This has intrigued me to explore the option of pursuing master’s course in Mechanical Engineering from your prestigious University, which I believe will not only supplement my knowledge that I have acquired but also provide me with the best possible platform for the attainment of my future goals. I draw my inspiration towards this field from my mechanical engineer father who serves as a Mechanical Supervisor in a government run organization, National Fertilizers Limited. He was the one who introduced me to machines like Lathe Machine, Gear Cutting Machine, Hydraulic Cutting Machine, Steam Turbines, Compressors etc. and plants like Steam Generation Plant, Ammonia Plant at a very impressionable age. This naturally triggered in me a desire to know more about what happens inside these machines and the reason behind their precise and accurate working. Also, my frequent visits to the industry enabled me to retain as well as enhance my keen interest in the field and thus, influenced me to pursue my undergraduate course in Mechanical Engineering.
Due to my innate interest in the field of Mechanical Engineering and impressive performance in the engineering entrance examination, I secured a seat in this discipline of engineering at the coveted Punjab Technical University, Punjab. My undergraduate major has given me a wide exposure to numerous subjects like Thermodynamics, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Heat and Mass Transfer, Mechanics, Mechanical Vibrations etc. My under graduation has been a rewarding experience as I got numerous chances to visit industries to gain a close look at the application of mechanics and its related theories. I possess immense quest for knowledge which enabled me to score more than 90% marks in practical labs of all above-mentioned courses. In addition to this, with the increasing role of computers in every field of engineering, I underwent career enhancing certifications like AutoCAD and pro-e which helped me to learn various design aspects.
Owing to my interest in the concepts pertaining to Refrigeration & Air-Conditioning, Thermal & Fluid Sciences, Heat & Mass Transfer, I submitted a project in final year based on Regenerative Braking System for an Electric Bicycle, which works on principle of conservation of energy i.e. converting the heat lost on applying brakes into electrical energy, which was well received and appreciated by department professors and H.O.D as well. The concept for this project is to demonstrate a regenerative braking system on an electric bicycle.The ultimate goal is to use the energy regained from the RBS as an acceleration “boost” on the bicycle. Although the final goal of repurposing the stored energy into an acceleration boost was not achieved, a fully functional electric bicycle with regenerative braking was built. The regenerated power was even stored in a capacitor, so finding an appropriate use for that electricity should not be difficult.

Sample SOP for MS in Electrical Engineering
The following SOP was submitted at a Top University in USA for the Masters in Electrical Engineering Program. This is only a sample. Events, names and specifics may have been modified for the purpose of this sample:
I would not for once venture to suggest that I always knew what I wanted to do. My career aspirations are not childhood dreams but rather a work of consistent absorption of knowledge and learning about the domain. It was all about finding my path and the journey started from my curiosity about semi-conductors. Growing curiosity and a normal penchant for science and especially physics and mathematics saw me opting for Electronics and Communication Engineering. From thence started my understanding of the domain which slowly and gradually grew into admiration and then a strong passion.
Learning about VLSI Design, I knew I wished to make a career within the said domain and decided that I would gain a better understanding by pursuing masters in electrical engineering and becoming an expert within the sector. My humble beginnings offered me modest living amidst strong respect for academic excellence. My grand-father, an English teacher, would often take out time to condition my mind and encourage me to take the path of education. Supported by equally informed parents, I succeeded throughout my school years in every domain. Such has been my journey that on one hand I have the honour of being the captain of the cricket tournament winning school team and on the other, I have the credit of standing first in my school and being applauded for the same. Moving with such a feathered cap, my graduation year was bound to have an illustrious tenure and as promised, it was.
Choosing Electronics and Communication Engineering was by far the wisest decision of my life for the subjects fell in the natural scope of things in my life. I was able to quickly assimilate the information and readily implement the same in a variety of projects. While my performance was excellent in all subjects throughout my graduation, I was effectively fascinated by VLSI design. And due to strong affliction for VLSI design, I have done my major projects in this domain. My major project was design and verification of dual port asynchronous RAM using HDLs. The project completed under the mentorship of Mr. XYZ received excellent appreciations and a “Bravo” from the organization, further instilling in me the confidence to keep working in the domain.

Sample SOP for MS in MIS (Management Information Systems)
The following draft was submitted to one of the Top Universities in Singapore for the Masters in MIS Program. This is only a sample and events and specifics may have been modified for the purpose of this sample:
Statement of Purpose
Management Information Systems is a rapidly emerging field. What started years ago with manual systems like Customer Databases and Catalogues has evolved into modern concepts such as Predictive Data Mining. Rapid developments in the field of Information Management have left me fascinated with MIS. Having worked in SAP-ABAP for over two years and having gained in-depth knowledge of its importance and business applications, I feel that I am ready to move forward in the field of MIS. To keep up with the advancements in this field and prepare myself to meet the demanding standards of this industry, I wish to pursue a graduate program in Management Information Systems from your esteemed University.
In my high school, my keen interest in logically oriented subjects led me to take up Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry as my major subjects. In my twelfth grade, as part of my Physics project, I had constructed logic gates and simple latches using basic circuit elements and was greatly amazed by the potential of the electrical and electronics stream. Subsequently, I topped my school in the tenth and twelfth grade securing 87.2 % and 90% respectively.
During my undergraduate studies at Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, I was excited by the diversity of the field of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering. In my bachelor program, the courses like Network Analysis, Signals and Systems, Microprocessors and Microcontroller, VLSI Technology and Design and Process Control helped me learn the aspects of system implementation. On the other hand, courses like Data Structure, Operating System, C, C++, JAVA, Data Communication and Computer Network helped me understand how the concepts of computers are applied to practical systems in day-to-day life.
During the course of my study, I also learned to program in Embedded Systems, which in turn, fascinated me to apply the concept in my major project “Voice Recognition Robotic Car Based on Voice Recognition Algorithm”. The project uses components such as 2.2 or higher version Android Phone, Bluetooth, AVR, Battery, Motor Driver and an LCD for output. The Bluetooth module AUBTM-20 is configured using the terminal software. The Bluetooth module receives a signal from Android Phone using an application CELLBOTS. The received signal goes to the microcontroller which controls the motion of robotic car connected to 1293D whose output is in turn, connected to BO motors that depend on rpm and this will show the required result on alphanumeric LCD. To supplement my learning from the project, I underwent training on Rail Net, Networking Hub, Server, Switch, and Electronic Exchange Working at Western Railway Ratlam Division. I also underwent training in C, C++, JAVA, MATLAB, VLSI, PLC and Embedded Systems.
After my undergraduate program, I joined TATA Consultancy Services Limited. During my ILP (Initial Learning Process) at, I stood amongst the top 10 students who got to choose their preferred technology for learning. Subsequently, I learned JAVA, Testing, SQL, and DBMS. Later, based on my JAVA programming skills, I was selected in British Gas (Leading Oil and Gas Company) for training in SAP-ABAP. In my 2+ years’ experience in SAP-ABAP, I have worked on reports including Classical, Interactive and Object Oriented Reports, Dialog Interface including BDC, BAPI, and IDOC, Data Dictionary, Smart Forms, Module Pool, enhancements including User Exits, BADI, SAP Performance Tuning and Trouble Shooting. I have also worked on few complex objects such as Contract Copy, a program for adding new line items and updating the net price of line items. Apart from SAP-ABAP I have also worked in Material Management Module (MM) and received appreciations from clients as well as from our functional bodies.
