My name is Kareli Naresh Kumar, born on 6th February 2003 in Hyderabad, India.

I completed my
bachelor’s degree B.com [Computer Applications] in September 2023 with an overall CGPA of 8.1.

For my further education, I have chosen Australia because it is currently the biggest education hub,
providing the highest quality education with various options for both domestic (local) and
international students to explore and excel in their careers.
I chose the University of Southern Queensland because of its approach to teaching, which includes
lots of hands-on experience and practical learning. It’s not about saying India's colleges are not good.
India has fantastic institutions like SRM, and NITs, that offer excellent education. Every college has
an entrance exam with certain eligibilities. Students who make ranks and the best scores will be
allotted with seats, due to heavy competition and limited seats there is a very low rate of chance for
being selected. Choosing an Australian university, such as USQ, provides me more accessible
education without intense entrance exams or limited seats. This allows for practical learning and a
curriculum emphasizing essential IT skills. I have enrolled myself in the Master's in Information
Technology program at USQ, which comprises 16 units. I chose this program due to my interest in the
IT field and to form a strong foundation for my upcoming future.

Upon completing my program, I intend to gain international exposure by working briefly in Australia.
This experience will not only sharpen my skills but also enhance my credibility when I return to India.
In the future, I see myself contributing to esteemed companies such as Deloitte, TCS, Cap Gemini,
and Accenture. With an Australian education and practical experience, I anticipate securing a
rewarding position with 10 to 12 figure salary packages; all the major career sites clearly advertise the
same for job seekers. Choosing to study abroad is a strategic investment, geared towards gaining
valuable insights and skills that will contribute significantly to India's tech sector upon my return.

My Father being my co-applicant is going to stand with me for my expenses and give support with
some savings he arranged and an educational loan. I thoroughly plan to arrange my finances through a
loan process for expenses in the period of my study including living and miscellaneous expenses.
