'''Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.'''

My strength lies in my dynamic learning and self motivated hard work. I am a 2nd year undergraduate of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur where I am actively involved with the tech community and contribute to 2 research groups, 2 tech societies, projects under professors and have participated in many competitions and hackathons apart from keeping my academics up. In these two years of my stay, I have learnt a great deal about time management. <u>All the professional level work we do has made me to realize realistic timelines for myself and my team.</u> Though I failed initially, but I am getting better. My work has been mostly in software RnD and autonomous robotics and hence <u>I have gained lots of experience about the process and its time consumption involved in converting an idea to finished product.</u> So, I have learned to plan my work and execute it efficiently.

Another important fact is that <u>my college summer vacations lie in the period of 29th April to 15th July, during which I will be able to devote 100% of my work time</u> (8-9 hours a day and around 60 hours a week) towards my contribution. I also have a head start on the project I would be working on as <u>I have been involved with the sugar code base since February 1st, added a new feature, fixed a bug and have made the prototype of two features I will develop in this project</u> apart from discussion about the project on IRC. Hence I am confident that I can ensure fully dedicated work and a pledge to deliver more than I promise.

Even though I my college semester will start from 25th July, I will still be able to devote 40 hours a week due to a light semester. I also have a head start on the project I would be working on as <b>I have been involved with the sugar code base since February 1st, added a new feature, fixed a bug and have made the prototype of two features I will develop in this project</b> apart from discussion about the project on IRC.
