An SOP is an exceptionally significant part of the application while applying to Universities abroad or to obtain visa for that matter. As the name signifies, the Statement of Purpose is your personal statement about who you are, what has influenced your career path so far, your professional interests and where you plan to go from here. As the student is an unknown individual to the admission committee at the University, the SOP is a chance for students to add a personalized touch to their application. Given the fact that, Universities receive thousands of SOPs during each intake, an SOP that stands out among the crowd holds the key for your entry to your targeted University.
The very reason for writing the SOP is to convincingly detail out the necessity for you to pursue the proposed course and how this journey will lead you to acquire targeted skills and in turn, your targeted organisation back in your home country. The underlying principle while writing an SOP is to convince the reviewer is that how the study undertaken overseas will help carve a niche for yourself in your chosen domain apart from providing you with the sought-after exposure, which you would have missed out on, if you had chosen to study in your home country. Remember that deciding committee is keen on selecting the aspirants who want to enter the country precisely for study purpose and do not intend to you study visa in order to circumvent the immigration laws.
Furthermore, it is advisable to maintain a formal tone throughout the SOP as it is going to be reviewed by a well-qualified panel at the university. Write persuasively to convince the reviewers that you are sincere about your education and future plans and want to excel at their university.
A Statement of Purpose has certain sections to it that have to be covered. Each section has its own significance but if written well, collectively they make a strong SOP. We have put together the sections that make a phenomenal SOP

Reasons for not doing the course from your own country
