Description
Statement of Purpose I am Ankita Singh , final year undergraduate student at IIT-BHU. I pursued my secondary education from DAV Public School and scored 93.10%, and higher secondary education from Sri Chaitanya Vidyaniketan and scored . I got my JEE rank OB2478 in 2012, and opted for Ceramic Engineering to pursue my graduate studies. I have always aspired to a career that have good scope of gaining knowledge and earning much experience in present as well as in future, and throughout the past four years I have explored various areas of ceramics to find the area most suitable for me. In addition to have much knowledge about glass , I have learned about refractories, material science, bio ceramics and other aspects of ceramics, I even had an internship in refractories other than in glass. In addition to these I was in lead in organising team for industrial tour (part of curriculum) in 3rd year and have gained much experience in managing, about glass industry and other ceramic industries. However, I have found refractory related work to be somewhat dry and tedious, and although I am interested in glass and glass ceramic, I have decided to devote my career to deal with its production and advancement. In other words, I have found the field of Glass and Glass ceramic most suitable for my interests and goals, and therefore I am applying for your esteemed institution. In today’s context of changing global market and varying customers demand, companies must have skilled team which can tackle up with those changes in order to stay abreast of changes in demand and supply, and adjust accordingly. For my future career, I am interested to work in glass production at your workplace. By working at AGC Glasses, I expect to learn more about all of glass and glass ceramic and how to make strategic changes as needed to ensure continued competitiveness. With the academic and work experiences I have accumulated so far, I feel well prepared and confident to enter your esteemed institution. With my Bachelor studies at IIT-BHU, I got to know many aspects of ceramic and future possible area of advancement in the research work of glass and glass ceramic. I also worked on a number of research projects concerning, for example d-block element doping to produce better quality glass for use in solar cells(paper going to be published soon), making of low cost solar water distiller at low prices.In 2015, in my pre final year, I did my intern at Piramal Glass on two projects. First one being to increase compressive strength of glass bottles of samples on run, and other being to decrease iron content in glass samples on run to produce better quality glass. Through this intern, I acquired a general introduction to many aspects related to glass industry, including pre-production, production, post-production processes, furnace, refractory, its advancement, customer demand and future possibilities. My university studies and work experience give me a broad understanding of the ceramic industries, and it is because of this perspective that I have decided to focus on glass and glass ceramic for my future career. Because of glass being a field of much importance in present as well as in future, I know that I could benefit greatly by pursuing my career in this field, which is why I am applying to your company. My achievements, courses of study and projects undertaken are attached in CV.
