‘The sum total of what one knows is negligible, finally what is important is, and one shouldpursue knowledge’.

I am an Engineer and the desire for incessant pursuit of knowledge guides me to the Universityof Saarland in order to acquire an MSc in Computer Science.

My Academic Background:

In my postgraduate studies, I have benefited from the breadth of University’s syllabi content thathas given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of Computer Science and a strongconceptual understanding of the same. In these three years of study, I have strived to maintainan approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by myself andsharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept.

Over the past two years, I have developed an interest in the areas of software engineering, objectoriented software devolopment, Web Based Technologies and Database Management System.

However, for my MSC degree, I remain open to other topics as well.My Extra-Curricular Activities:

I enjoyed taking part in sports, singing, debate etc. I always was at the forefront in organizingdifferent events in school as well as the colleges. One person’s life influences the lives of anunbelievable number of people, one of the most important lessons I learned, being the Head of the Organizing Body at senior secondary level (11th and 12th standard). It taught me that the

basis for good work is self-reliance and very importantly, time management. Not all of my entiretwo years were devoid of shortcomings. I learned to accept both criticism and praise with a

positive frame of mind. My work involved organising various events, that brought with them theopportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people. This was a distinctively gratifyingexperience for me, which I feel would stand in good stead in the future, especially in lieu of any

teaching experience.I was School Pupil Leader in school because of which I understood thegreatness of Leadership I was also a class representative for most of the time in my school days.As playing cricket is my hobby I played at club level and at inter-college level, but couldn’tcontinue for higher level.

My Research Interests:

I am very much impressed by software engineering, Object oriented software development,andSoftware reuse techniques.

My Career Plans:

After ten years I envision myself as engaged in a career of active research. I also get immense pleasure from teaching. I enjoy interacting with people and this leads me to believe that sharingwith them the knowledge that I gain though my research would be a very rewarding experience.

Why University of Saarland?
