This is my first time I'm writing my letter of motivation.So don't know how it is written,any changes or critics is whole hearthly accepted.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to apply for the masters program offered by your esteemed institution in "XXXXXX" scheduled to begin in August 2013. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics and Communication from XXXX University and graduated last summer. I wish to continue my education in order to gain better knowledge and vision.
The process of learning is never-ending. As one goes on to learn new things one realises that there are many more things which one needs to learn to quench one's thirst for knowledge. During the course of my Under-graduate study I have learnt many things but have also realized that I need to learn more in order to advance frontiers in my field of interest. A graduate study is the next logical step in my quest for knowledge and to bring out my forte to the fore.
Right from my days of school, I have exuded a high degree of competence and interest in Mathematics and Physical Science. And at the same time my interest started to grow when I studied about the invention of computers, moreover about its large size. The transformation from the large size to small palmtops enticed and intrigued me to know about the factors that are responsible for making computers, also the electronic gadgets so small. I was taken aback after seeing a small chip for the first time in my school days, all the more when I became aware of the fact that this single chip contained more than 1000 transistors. It was really astonished on having learned of this fact and developed a curiosity, and the same was satiated with "integrated circuits" as the answer. But I wasn't able to penetrate the fundamentals of it. Every day since then, I came across small circuits and spent hours to solve the mystery and finally decided to enter into the cave of electronics. And it was with this motivation that I took up the Mathematics and Physical science stream in my pre-university courses. My excellent performance here gave me the confidence to take electronics and communication engineering for my Bachelor's Degree.
During my under-graduate studies, the opportunity to meet people with similar interests and potential really shaped me considerably. I acquired the fundamentals of various subjects like Electronic Devices and Circuits, Analog and Digital Communications, Linear Electronic Circuits, Embedded Systems, Microprocessors and interfacing, Digital Signal Processing and Electronic System design. While the corresponding laboratories allowed me to implement my knowledge practically. Subjects like Electronic Devices and Circuits, Digital Circuits and Electronic System Design captivated my interest the most, not only because the facts themselves interested me, but also because of the application of these facts in the real world. It was in the 3rd year of my under-graduate course that I got the opportunity to design printed circuit board(PCB) for my mini-project. Mounting small electronic components on it thrilled me as I had always read about the technique but had never had the opportunity to perform it myself.
After my under-graduate course and knowledge of the same, I am convinced that a research based career in the field of Micro-electronics would be most challenging and intriguing to me. Pursuing research in this area would prove to be personally and professionally fulfilling, as it complements my career objective. I aspire to do my post-graduation after my masters and become a distinguished Research Engineer with expertise in Micro-electronics. I am longing to understand the subject better and contribute something useful, for example, increasing the capability of an IC, minimizing its size, maximizing its output, etc. Masters in XXXXX from your University would be my first step towards attainment of this Goal.
The essence of University Education lies in the success of the symbolic relationship between the student and his Department. It is with this in mind that I am looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship with your University. With the tremendous research options available here, I am confident and enthusiastic that I will have the opportunity to work professionally with faculty on research projects and at the same time, I can make my research-work more meaningful.
I believe that my educational background combined with my interest have set me in the right direction to start a career at your esteemed University. I will try my best to do justice to these aspirations and live up to your expectations. I earnestly look forward to be a part of your esteemed institution.
Yours Faithfully,
