Graduate / Statement of Purpose for Ph.D. in Telecommunications;Need Help [2]

Your 1st paragraph can be more attractive. Express why you were motivated to pursue a career in teaching profession and that you see this PhD as a stepping stone in this journey for reaching your ultimate goal.

After acquiring a sound foundation and excelling
Be clear in what you have acquired a sound foundation, B.E. in E&C is your accomplishement

~~I outline my academic and research accomplishments, career objectives and motivation below.~~
I feel this statement is implicit, not needed

After collaboration and detailed discussions with 5 exceptionally talented and dedicated team members, and working under an excellent guide and mentor in the form of Prof.Sandeep Yadav, I realised the importance of qualities like a clear conceptual understanding, a well-focussed mind, patience and integrity in the field of research.

This is a lengthy sentenace cut this short, and combine it with your next paragraph

You need not mention too much details of your internship, key take-away's from that experience should be sufficient.

Undergraduate / 'father become an electrician' Rutgers Essay 2013 Fall Admission [3]

electrician, despite his ~~drive~~ passion

On the other hand, it is also the passions he has given up that I wish to maintain for the rest of my life that have pushed me to pursue the University of Rutgers

Not sure what you want to imply in this above statement, try to be more clear in what you are trying to express.

Your main idea of the essay is good, you might want to shorten your statements in telling how your father has inspired and instilled in you the academical & musical passion

I do not know what I would do without the guidance of my father. I do know I can offer Rutgers the drive to obtain the security of a career in Computer Science and at the same time, pursue my passion as a musician. Rutgers will allow me the education my father always wanted, and the opportunities he never had.

Paraphrase the 1st statement, its sounds too banal.
2nd statement - I could not make out what you wanted to say in this statement
