Statement of purpose

Introduction:

Hello and Namaste, my name is Laxman Tiwari born on XXXXXX, the youngest son of XXXXXX and XXXXXX, permanent resident of XXXXXX. My marital status is single till date and hold Nepalese passport of no. XXXXXX. First of all, I am very glad to share my personal life, academic qualification, family background and overall career plan and hereby present my statement of purpose. I am 18 years old dedicated and energetic student willing to pursue my further studies in Bachelor of Information and Technology(BIT)at King’s Own Institute (KOI), Australia with the great motivation to be as best as possible.

Family Background:

Currently I live with my parents altogether with the family members of five including my father, mother, elder sister, brother and me. My parents always have been my great source of motivation and inspiration as they never let me slip away from my career. Similarly, my sister and my brother were always there to assist me both physically and mentally as a friend. All of my family members supported my choice to join KOIfor my further studies both financially and mentally for my better future.

Academic Background:

As concerned to my academic background, I completed my Secondary Education Examination (SEE), Grade 10 in 2018 with XXXXXX GPA (Grade A) from XXXXXX located at Jhapa Rural Municipality-o2, Jhapa, Nepal. After SEE I continued my study and then moved to XXXXXX from where I completed my XXXXXX in 2020 securing XXXXXX in XXXXXX located at XXXXXX.

Gap Explanation and Language Proficiency:

My High School Examination was supposed to be held on March 2020 but was postponed for eight months due to COVID-19 pandemic and it was rescheduled to be conducted from November 24th to December 1st 2020. The result published on the first week of February 2021. After the result it took a while to study and understand myself to realize my ultimate goals. During this time, I took 6 months long computer course to explore wider in the IT world which includes Office Applications, Graphics Designing and Hardware and Networking from XXXXXX



and IT College located at XXXXXX. The course was conducted from XXXXXX .After that it took me a month to decide where to study.So, after many researches, frequent visits to the internet and many more sleepless nights I made up my mind to study abroad which was well supported by my family.

To reach my ultimate goal I need to had English Proficiency Test as English isn’t our first language. So, I started preparation formy IELTS Examination about 5 months and finally took it on XXXXXX and obtained overall band score of 6.5 by scoring 6.5, 6.5, 6 and 6 on listening, reading, speaking and writing respectively.

Reasons For Not Choosing Home Country:

As we all know Nepal is developing country where the educational technical fields are too primitive. The manpower and resources here in Nepal are very old and limited which always gives challenges to the student. After long research, I found that the education system in Nepal gives more preference to its theoretical knowledge than the practical understanding that ultimately degrade the skills of students and hence cannot compete to the international standards. On the other hand, the well reputed IT institutions of Nepal like KIST College, Amrit Science Campus, and Nepal College of Information Technology provide four years BIT courses which is way too lengthy as compared to the institutions of other nations like Australia where most of the educational institutions provide three years BIT course. Also, the well reputed universities of Nepal are not in the admirable rank in comparison to international universities which means the degree of Nepal is not strongly acknowledged in the world.

In Nepal, knowledge is enclosed only in a sheet of paper because the way they taught students here do not match in the job market due to which students cannot secure their good future. The quality of education is remarkably unorganized as compared to the international quality of education. My course requires tremendous amount of exposure to the use of modern information and technologies and need hand on experience which I am sure isn’t very available in Nepal. Furthermore, studying abroad will provide me and opportunity to compete on international standard. Taking all these things into considerations, and to secure my future in IT sector, I choose to study Australia rather than Nepal


Why Not Neighboring Countries:

Reasons for not choosing India:

The Indian education system doesn’t offer practical knowledge to the students which restricts the student’s potential to grow new skills in real world. Also, the degree of Indian universities doesn’t hold global recognition as compared to the foreign ones like Australia, the USA, the UK and Canada. Similarly, the Indian society is very arrogant and the crime rate there is too high due to which my family itself doesn’t allow me to study in India.

Reasons for not choosing China:

The one and only reason that discouraged me to study in China is the need of learning Chinese Language. The official and unofficial language in China is the Chinese language itself which is considered the oldest and hardest language ever. So,it is very time consuming for me to learn new language from the beginning and to excel it which will require long time. That’s why I didn’t prefer to study in China and started looking for alternatives.

Why Not The UK, USA and Canada:

Reasons for not choosing USA:

We all are aware of the fact that the education system of the USA is very well known and systematic all around the globe. However, most of the educational institution of the USA require SAT, SAT-I, SAT-II tests for the admission which makes more time consuming for the overall admission process as we have to prepare for the test. Similarly, the tuition fee in the universities of the USA is relatively higher than the Australia. Also, the quality of life is quite not good in the USA and has high crime rates where it isn’t safer for the student like me who want to study in the friendly atmosphere.

Reasons for not choosing the UK:

The very first thing that disallow me to study in the UK is because of the high tuition fee and unaffordable living cost. Also, the tuition fee in the universities of the UK is non-refundable in case if you want to change the university which is just opposite in the Australian universities that refund all the tuition fees. Furthermore, the international student’s policy is unstable and there is no post study work (PSW) visa in the UK which make easier to take decision that the UK not suitable for me to study.

Reasons for not choosing Canada:

Talking about Canada, the first thing that strike into my mind is its’ adverse climatic condition. As I am the permanent resident of Nepal, I love pleasant climatic condition with average summer and winter temperature. However, the climate always goes beyond the freezing temperature all around the year in Canada which will surely affect my study and my health. Another factor that stopped me from applying in Canada is the processing time. It takes about 4-6 months to get visa of Canada which is way too long also the process being quite complicated.

Reasons for choosing Australia:

Out of different countries in the world, I found Australia is the best nation where I can complete my further study. The major reasons behind choosing Australia are discussed below: -

Varied and Quality Education System:

Australia is home of many universities and institutions where 6 Australian universities are in the list of top 100 international renowned university. Students often have wide variety of choices with 43 universities in total, 40 Australian, 2 international and 1 private university which offer about 22 thousand courses. Also, the education system in Australia is more systematic and modern where practical knowledge is focused more.

Globally accepted Degree:

Australian degrees are highly reputed and recognized among the international market. The graduates from Australian universities are highly accepted in the international level because of the impressive international reputation of Australian education system. One can go any place on the earth and get highly payable and respectful job with the Australian degree.

Affordable Tuition fees and living cost:

The cost of pursuing education in Australia is quite cheaper as compared to the UK, the USA and Canada. This is because of the cheap tuition fees offered by the educational institutions of Australia. Also, the living expenses is quite affordable which make me choose Australia rather than other countries.

Pleasant Weather condition:

The climatic condition of Australia and Nepal is quite similar which enables me to adapt Australia more easily unlike Canada and the UK where the climatic condition is very harsh. The pleasant temperature of Australia will not provide any harm on my studies and can carry on learning process without any climatic difficulties.

Rights for international students and work options:

The Education Service for Overseas Student (ESOS) has been implemented to protect the rights of international students studying in Australia. Also, Tuition Protection Service (TPS) acts as a financial assurance to international students in regards to their Tuition fees. There is also provision of Post Study Work (PSW) visa which helps graduates to enhance their knowledge and implement them in practical work. Similarly, there are part time job options for international students which help to get work experience and learn new skills.

Considering all the above facilities and remarkable factors, I concluded that Australia will be the perfect place for my future studies.

Why Sydney:

After the final decision of choosing Australia as a foreign study, it didn’t take me too much time choose place in Australia. The first and only city that came up my mind was Sydney. Sydney, the capital of New South Wales and one of the Australia’s largest cities, is best known for its Harbourfront Sydney Opera House and hub of many educational institutions like TAFE NSW, Excelsia College, Macquaire University, King’s Own Institute and many more. Sydney has quite favourable weather with more than 200 days sunshine every year, which is quite same as my home country. Sydney provides quality of life and affordable price and also a lot of opportunities and facilities in every means.

Being a large city, Sydney has plenty of international students which will help me to socialize easily. Studying in Sydney will provide me an opportunity to experience range of different cultures and traditions. As a large city, there will always be plenty of opportunities for both work and study. Also, Sydney is the best place to enjoy nature as it is full of beaches, sea life aquarium, theme parks, gardens and many more natural beauties which will help getting relaxation after the study. Furthermore, Sydney is nominated as the fifth safest city in the world by the economist’s safe cities index 2019 which means I can get quality education enjoying the nature more safely.


Why King’s Own Institute:

After choosing Australia, Sydney as my final destination, now the most important decision was to select the educational provider that would suit my intended course along with the affordability and quality of education. After a long search through the internet and consulting with many educational agents, I found different colleges such as KENT institute, IIBIT international institute, Sydney college, King’s Own Institute (KOI), etc. that offer bachelors of information technology (BIT) course for me. By making lots of comparison with different educational institute, I found KOI as the best option for me. The indicative total cost of tuition fee for BIT is AUD 45,470 for 166 weeks which is quite affordable for me and my family.

KOI is a tertiary level institution located at central Sydney Australia which offers high quality study options such as Accounting, Management, Business and Information Technology. It nurtures an unparallel learning environment that develops highly desired professional expertise. Powered by a passion for innovation, excellence and hands on experience, KOI’s graduate outcomes mirror those of the world’s top universities. Students of KOI will develop new skill and knowledge both theoretically and practically. The education system is fully based upon modernized and systematic way which is the need of current generation. The classes of KOI are relatively small sized which enhance friendly atmosphere among teachers and students and also it would be easier for teacher to make the whole students clear about the particular topic. Considering all the facts like affordable fee, quality education and friendly atmosphere I made my decision to study at KOI.


Reasons for choosing Bachelor of Information and Technology:

Since my childhood, I was very passionate at modern equipment and IT related topics. I always had a dream to enroll myself in IT related courses and finally after my High School I made up my mind to choose BIT at KOI Australia, Sydney. The world is changing with its great innovations and technologies where it’s quite obvious that IT related job will be needed in the near future. This job sector is projected to grow by 13% from 2020 to 2030 with 667600 new jobs according to Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS). That means IT workers are expected to be in high demand in the upcoming future. After the completion of IT course, it is not compulsion to enroll in only one certain field, one can choose as different fields like finance, information, education, computer design and other related fields.

Another reason for choosing BIT course is that the IT professionals will eventually make high annual salaries. According toBLS, the average annual salaries of IT professions like computer support specialist is $ 62.,760 and computer and information research scientist is $131,490 in may 2021. Also, IT related jobs are always challenging and give thriller in life which is one way of enjoying life. I am pretty sure that choosing BIT, I made one of the best decisions in my life which will help me to extend knowledge and build new skills. Similarly, studying BIT and specializing it will make me more creative confident and provide me a whole lot of information which will also directly help me land a better job. BIT ensures that graduates develop a broad and coherent body of knowledge in the underlying principles and concepts of information technology. It provides student with the opportunity to explore and identify critical IT industry demands and to understand how their demands are made. The availability of IT jobs in the future, high payable salary of IT professionals, opportunities to learn new skills are the major reasons which satisfied me to study BIT for my better future.


 Return Back Home Country:

Nepal is gradually developing in the IT sector recently. As Nepal is becoming modernized is technologies and science, lots of IT jobs are vacant. After my study and PSW, I don’t see myself permanently residing in Australia as the jobs related to IT specially in software development is demanding more professionals in Nepal. I would love to serve my native soil and utilize my potential here in Nepal for its development. I also have many responsibilities towards my parents and therefore serve them after my home return.

As Nepal is changing rapidly in its technological field, the manpower like me would be a great benefit to the nation and I would feel proud to contribute my nation in the software development field with my knowledge and skill that I’ll gain after the completion of my study from Australia. So, in order to fulfill my duties and responsibilities I’ll return to my nation and play a key role in development of nation.

Finally, I declare the following:

> I have made well informed decision for my purpose study; I will do my best to compete the course of study with the highest possible grade within scheduled period.

> I will follow Australian value, rules of law and multiculturalism during my stay in Australia.

> I understand student visa condition and will strictly comply with them.

I have worked hard till date and I will continue to pursue my dreams genuinely. All the documents presented by me are true and authentic. I know my decision to study in Australia will be faithful and I will return back to my country being a qualified person. I would consider myself lucky if I am given an opportunity to pursue my further education in a peaceful and safe country like Australia.

 

I hope you will kindly give me a privilege of continuing my further studies at King’s Own Institute.
