Studying Technique ( Students weak in 1 or 2 Subjects )
1. It is important to clear all subjects in the first attempt.
2. subjects in which u have got less than 50% marks in ct-1 or u find it tough r the one’s which can result in back.
i) by scoring 30 marks in ese, u can clear a paper.
ii) 30 marks can be easily scored even if u answer 2 qs correctly. Preparing 3 units very well can ensure u getting 40-50 marks.

Rule = Concentrate fully on 3 units (which u find easy ) on balabce 2 units carry selective study seeing the trend of qs and previous papers. Stress on presentation , diagrams etc.

Studying techniquesfor students
(generally weak)

It is important to pass in all papers in the first attempt. Back papers put additional burden on the student.

Subjects in which u have got less than 50% marks in ct-1 or u find it tough, r the one’s which can result in back.
i) by scoring 30 marks in ese, u can clear a paper.
ii) 30 marks can be easily scored even if u answer 2 qs correctly. Preparing 3 units very well can ensure u getting 40-50 marks

Rule -
i) carry selective study
ii) select three units in each subject which u find easy to understand
iii) concentrate fully on these 3 units.
iv) Answer three qs to the point , neatly and correctly .
v) Do selective study from balance 2 units seeing the past qs papers and trend of qs.

Statement Of Purpose
(Posted On - 19/05/2005)

1. When the students of Batch 2004 report for session 05-06 in Jul/Aug 05, each student is expected to submit a Statement of Purpose (SOP) to Dean(A) in the first week. What is expected in a SOP is listed below. Students may work on this during the holidays and come prepared. The SOP should be max two pages (about 1000 to 1500 words).

2. Statement of Purpose should cover the following :
- Your previous academic background and marks, especially in Board Exams.
- What are the motivations that are driving your life at this point in time. Why do you want to pursue the course you are doing now?
- How relevant is the course to your long term goals?
- Write down all your past accomplishments - academic, extra curricular, social contributions, sports - whatever you've done well in life. Also write down all the things that you feel or care for strongly.
- What is it that you want to do in life? What is the career you want to choose for yourself in the future and why? Cover areas like further studies, R&D work, getting a Govt job and settling in life, get a job in Pvt sector and keep improving your prospects, start your own business by becoming an entrepreneur etc. - Write down the area that you want to study further in., the type of job you expect to settle with or the type of work you would like to do an an entrepreneur. How will taking up this course of study/job help you achieve your long-term career goals that you described above ?
- Now, write down why should you have the life that you want? Why should you get all the things you listed above? What qualifies you to have all the success you desire?
- How can you get it right? - by being honest about yourself and projecting your true self in the SOP.

Make sure your SOP is grammatically correct, is written in a good flow and does not exceed the prescribed word limit. The SOP should be enthusiastic, friendly and confident in tone. If writing is not your strength, don't hesitate to take the help of a friend or colleague who can write well.

Sample SOP (Computer Science & Engineering)

Purpose of Study & Professional Plans
The boundless possibility of trying out and the instant knowledge of the outcome that stimulates one for further analysis of a rationale in question, is what I find most appealing about Computer Science. Keeping up an inquisitive and explorative attitude, I believe, leads to a constant learning process. This approach adds to the already immense potential for innovation that exists in this field.
As a student in the final year of undergraduate study for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science & Engineering, I look to graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career as a research professional at an academic or commercial, research-oriented organisation. I intend to pursue an MS degree in order to reach that goal.

Academic Background & Research Interests
In my undergraduate studies, I have benefited from the breadth of Shivaji University’s syllabi content that has given me a comprehensive exposure to the core areas of Computer Science and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. In these three and half years of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by myself and sharing 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 Compiler Construction and Information Retrieval. The Compiler Construction lab sessions last semester required the design of a compiler for C++ programs that were restricted to For loops, Switch case statements and simple input and output. The work involved in this, as well as the courses, Formal Systems and Automata and Compiler Construction, have lead me to appreciate the intricacies involved in this field. However, for my MS degree, I remain open to other topics as well.

For my B.E project, I have decided to concentrate on my other area of interest viz. Information Retrieval. I’m attempting to evolve a technique that, when employed in a search engine, will maximize the comprehensiveness and precision of the query listings. The ongoing work has introduced me to a vast body of pertinent research, such as the University of Washington’s Dynamic Reference Sifting technique for locating an individual’s homepage, among others. This has served to sharpen my inclination to engage in active research within this area.

(Please see attached Resume’ for the Academic and Co-curricular distinctions)

One person’s life influences the lives of an unbelievable number of people, one of the most important lessons I learned, being the Head of the Apex Body at senior secondary level (11th and 12th standard). Hence the need of responsible actions. Becoming the youngest Head of the Apex Body ever and the only one to have served for a period of two years eventually turned out to be a confidence booster. It taught me that the basis for good work is self-reliance and very importantly, time management. Not all of my entire two 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 the opportunity to work and interact with various kinds of people. This was a distinctively gratifying experience for me, which I feel would stand in good stead in the future, especially in lieu of any teaching experience.

In conclusion, I would like to add that the essence of University education lies in the synergetic relationship between the student and his department. I feel that graduate study at your University will be the most logical extension of my academic pursuits and a major step towards achieving my objectives. I would be grateful to you if I’m accorded the opportunity to pursue my graduate studies with financial assistance at your institution and am able to justify your faith in me.

If the student has already paid the tuition fees for next year or the award is for final year performance, the tuition fee paid for the next year/final year will be refunded in full (The student can exercise an option of adjustment of tuition fee already paid for the subsequent year). In a year, a student will be eligible for one such scholarship only.

Cash Awards

(a) Rs 100 if the aggregate is 70%
(b) An additional award of Rs 100 for every % scored above 70%. (For example, 75% aggregate leads to an award of Rs 500, 82% leads to Rs 1200 etc)

Students falling under the category of Scholarships above will be excluded from this category.

Effective Dates
