STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Name: Afshan Begum

ABOUT ME:

I am very thankful for providing me this opportunity and it is with sincere sense of gratification that I pen
down by brief statement of purpose before you. I am Afshan Begum, 23 years old. I have studied B.
Pharmacy from the reputed Sultan-Ul-Uloom College of Pharmacy, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological
University. I have always believed in the credo "If you set your sights for and the intention to do hard
work is strong, your feet will carry you there". It is to this belief that I attribute all my accomplishments
till today and my passion to study further. Pursuit of knowledge has always been my obsession and the
propelling force behind all my achievements. My decision to pursue Master study blends harmoniously
with my eventual objective of taking up research-oriented career in the area of PHARMACEUTICAL
SCIENCE.

EDUCATION:

I would like to present my past performances as my credentials for success in future endeavors. My
academic performance was good & this acted as a booster & made me look at future with confidence &
excitement. My schooling provided me with the much needed information for a scientific approach in life.
I learned that just having interest is not sufficient & that it needs to be supplemented with hard work &
determination to succeed. I scored 6.8 GPA in the 10th grade. This result filled me with more confidence
& left me with a predilection for academics. Then came the phase of pre-university examination (10+2)
in which I secured 97.8%. It was this fascination & years of hard work resulted in my selection in
engineering and medicine common entrance test (EAMCET) in which I was ranked among the top 30% of
one lakh candidates which fetched me an admission into the Sultan-Ul-Uloom College of Pharmacy, JNTU
University. It is one of the best pharmacy colleges in our state with excellent faculty & competitive
environment. The emphasis at our college is on having a thorough knowledge of fundamental principles
& studying a wide spectrum of courses ranging from essential features of subjects to the core topics. My
under graduation studies has provided me with a strong and comprehensive background in pharmacy. In
my undergraduate curriculum, I was exposed to subjects like pharmaceutics, biotechnology,
pharmacology, microbiology, biochemistry, physical pharmacy, edicinal chemistry, inorganic chemistry,
organic chemistry, physiology and I was given a strong foundation in core subjects that have provided
commendable groundwork for my advanced study and honed my laboratory skills in these areas.

WHY PHARMACEUTICS?

I was in particular interested in pharmaceutics. This is such a branch that any person who has heart to
feel & a mind to understand its depth & applications, which is highly diverse as well as expanding by
leaps & bounds cannot resist himself without choosing career in this field, especially formulation of
dosage forms has proven to be a powerful area in research to surmount various difficulties in formulation
of new chemical entities. So this area has got tremendous research and development application in
industry and moreover it has the ability to adjudicate various queries in the field of pharmaceutical
science. Out of my own volition I have chosen pharmaceutical science, which offers ample scope for
research activities and these parallels with my aspiration of a M.S degree. A pharmaceutical science is
considered with the study of the scientific study of the composition, properties, and activities of
substances, Drugs and the changes they undergo. With the advancement in technology, pharmaceutics
has evolved into a distinct discipline which has helped the field of pharmacy everywhere in improving the
efficacy of drugs by studying drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, etc., which would definitely help
in the manufacture of better drugs.

EXPERIENCE:

As a student of pharmacy I learnt that practical work & experience is more important than just theoretical
learning, as our profession involves extensive research and experimentation. I have also learnt how
simple molecules are synthesized in the laboratory, how aseptic conditions are met, how sterility of
products are tested, how the nature of pharmaceutical preparations effect the manufacturing process and
several other experiments related to pharmacokinetics. I have undergone Industrial training at Integrated
Product Development and Analytical R & D Division of “Iqra Agencies”. This training provided me with a
pragmatic outlook and the prerequisite attitude and aptitude for research.

ACHIEVEMENTS:

In academics I have put my best efforts & have secured 68% till my fourth year of B. pharmacy & have
actively participated in seminar & lab work. Being the class representative gave me a sense of
responsibility & duty. Having faith in me, my lecturers would ask me to perform like dissolution testing,
performing TLC, U. V Spectroscopic evaluation of concentration of drugs, either alone or in a team which
I lead. This is part of our course work, which has given me the opportunity to gain an insight into
conducting an experiment, the planning of an experiment and the common problems faced in an
experiment. Besides these I won several prizes in Debate, Essay writing competitions held at university
level. My participation in seminars: NATIONAL PHARMACY WEEK INDIAN PHARMACY CONGRESS, LATEST
TRENDS IN PHARMACEUTICS AND PHARMACOKINETICS helped me to know the future prospectus of
pharmaceutics.

WHY AT YOUR UNIVERSITY?

I am very keen on pursuing a Master degree in Pharmaceutical Analysis with Management Studies. It
would be wonderful if my research could help people by making a positive impression to the world. I
want to pursue more advanced training in this important field. I am looking for a graduate school that will
encourage me to give my best. After thorough inspection and contemplation of the graduate program
offered by many prominent institutions, I was extremely impressed by the excellent innovative research
supported by your University and I had no second thought in choosing your university. The renowned
faculty combined with the world class research facilities, pleasant University ambience and a balanced
academic program are the factors which have motivated me to apply to your university where I will be
able to enhance my knowledge with the opportunity of getting exposure to the latest developments
taking place and am sure it would help me to mould my career in a great way. This university is known
for its leading research in pharmaceutics, therefore a perfect choice for me.

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 Post graduate studies with
possible financial assistance at your institution. Given, the opportunity I would sincerely work with
dedication and give my best to make substantial contribution to my field of work and live up to high
standards of your graduate program. I look forward to the discovery and challenge of my chosen career
and a mutually beneficial association. I thank you immensely for considering my application.
