5. Please provide a short statement of intent (approximately 300 words) indicating your
reasons for wanting to pursue graduate work in this program.

If you want a change do it yourself, do not wait for others. This quote inspired me a
lot.From my childhood, I am very much interesting to do something for society. I noticed
that from a lot of problems the one big problem of the country is the Infrastructure, as in
my opinion the country's growth is directly related to its infrastructure. I grew up in a
rural area, so when I first saw a magazine about Skyscrapers in my college library, I was
mesmerized by the sheer size and design of buildings. I realized that it was possible to
build magnificent tall structures with artistic flair if the right materials and the
precision of calculated engineering. I worked towards and secured admission for an
undergraduate program in Civil Engineering. Initially, I found civil engineering very
challenging but gradually it becomes more interesting with the study of core subjects like
Structural analysis, Reinforced concrete, and Steel Structure Design.In the last semester
which is an Industrial training period at my university, I have joined a Structure Design
Consultancy in my city. Things that I have imagined during my study now are in front of me
since my basic was solid, so I started picking up very quickly and after my 6-month
training, they offered me a position of Assistant Structural Design Engineer . My time in
the industry has greatly boosted my ability to understand the concept that I have learned
in the classroom. During my work on various projects, I have realized that I have to
increase my knowledge in the structural design of non-linear structures since I felt that
my whole region is filled with simple structures. In this ever-changing world of
Engineering and Technology, where each new day sees a spate of new concept and applications
and each passing day make them obsolete, I want to attain the highest level of knowledge
and transcend new horizons in my field.That is why I am applying for master in civil
engineering programme with specialization in Structural and solid mechanics in this
prestigious university.
6. Please add any other information you feel would be important to the Admissions Committee in
evaluating your application to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. If you feel that your
credentials and the other information you have already provided on this form or will be
submitting to the graduate program in support of your application represents you fairly,
you should feel no obligation to write anything further here.

There is one thing I personally wanted to say to the Admissions Committee that I am not
choosing this program in order to earn money and live life comfortably instead of this I
wanted to do something for society as well as for developing countries. I admit that I am
not a person to whom you will consider very intelligent but I believe that I am very
hardworking whatever education and experience I will get from this I will surely make the
world a better place for living and make this university proud on me one day.
